Asus Sabertooth P67 B3 Performance Review - Value and Conclusion

15We have told you about Asus’ design choices for the Sabertooth P67 and even gone into some detail about the mindset behind this and other products in the TUF line. However all of the best design choices and components in the world will not make a board perform. To get great performance takes a little more. In this half of our Sabertooth review we are going to look into that side of the product. Asus has always had a reputation for tinkering with their BIOSes (not always a good one though).  So let’s start off there and see where it takes us.

Value -
Value is another very subjective topic. What is expensive to some might be a deal to others. You can look at this topic in multiple ways. One is raw price and the other is what you get for the money. Each is accurate and both are correct ways to look at price/value. We tend to look at features, performance and real-property when we discuss value. However, we also take into account the raw cash cost of the item.

The Sabertooth P67 can be picked up for around $200. Let me say that again, the Asus Sabertooth P67 B3 will only set you back $200 (plus taxes and shipping). At this price you are getting an awful lot. You get Crossfire and SLI, Intel LAN, SATA and USB 3.0, Thermal Armor and possibly the best thermal monitoring available plus a FIVE year warranty. I do not know of another motherboard in this price range that can match that; it is simply phenomenal.  

Conclusion -
The Asus Sabertooth P67 B3 is a really amazing product. It has performance that matches other boards that cost over $100 more and comes with a 5-year warranty. This is an impressive feat from Asus and one that we are sure many consumers will want to cash in on. We had originally thought the Thermal Armor and Thermal Radar were going to be cool items but something of a gimmick. It turns out that they are both well thought out products. We have also heard that Asus may put Thermal Radar into other products in the near future. You get excellent gaming potential, workstation longevity and more when you drop this product into your shopping cart. We have said this before (going back to before CES this year); Asus is out to dominate the market and with products like this one it is not hard to imagine them grabbing a rather large share of it.
