I won't be setting up my Sabertooth until Wednesday or so after the CPU arrives. However, I did run one in an open air environment at 9V and they were not silent, but not obtrusive either. I think at 7V they would be near-silent (Not sure how that will translate to straight RPMs) I'm going to use both of my fans at near minimum RPM just to add a tiny bit of airflow to the ecosystem, even though they are unnecessary.

Your are correct, its not in the software package.
You should be able to download from the other mobo and install only the FanExpert II only.

It convinced me to buy the board.

Also, the board is not overly expensive. I paid $225 for it.

The UDH5 (non Wi-Fi) is only about $25 cheaper. I've lost a lot of faith in Gigabyte after the X79 board I tested died horribly...

well ok let's say non Gigabyte, so what about a ASUS Z77 PRO is about the same price than Sabertooth, but i think it has a bunch of stuff more than sabertooth, sabertooth just have that thermal armor, which im not tottally sure, i read about a problem of sabertooth with less temps with thermal armor taked off, plus ASUS z77 pro has wifi also.

Let's be clear, if you are buying the Sabertooth you are buying it for the looks and the warranty (e.g. TUF components). If you want a bang for the buck board the Sabertooth isn't it. You don't like the Thermal Armor definitely get something else...

im not saying i don't like thermal armore, actually it looks beautifull and TUF and Protection against dust is the special feature that i will like to take since i live in a very dusty region of my country, I clean my current pc year by year and is always FULL of dust and that's why it tend to get high temperatures, however i would'nt like take a motherboard with temperature problems or fault of features just because it say sabertooth.

i just bought the sabertooth z77 myself and havent installed it in my pc yet. But im just wondering whether or not even if im using this motherboard, ill still need to buy a fan controller
post #60 of 5816
Hi everybody, I'm a happy owner of a Sabertooth Z77. I have a question though to all of you who have this board. I'd like to know the temps you get on the VCore sensor with thermal radar ?

Cause right now my 2500k is oc at 2,5Ghz / 1,26Vcore, and in load (prime95) my VCore sensor gets to a bit above 50C. And when I put a more extreme set up like my cpu to 5chz with 1,45Vcore, the Vcore goes above 60C, and I wonder if that's ok at all.

I have the 2 little fans installed like recommended by Asus, my case is a pretty well ventilated Lancool K63, and my cpu cooler is a Silver Arrow pointing upward.

Thanks a lot.
