Description

• Innovative and creative

  Sabertooth 990FX R3.0 drives ASUS TUF's direct-etching concept forward by military-inspired digital pattern directly onto the board in commanding gun-metal grey! As unique as it is evocative of might, Sabertooth 990FX R3.0's stunning aesthetic envisions the future for your next battle-ready rig.

• Brighten up your build

  ASUS Aura offers full RGB control with a variety of exciting presets for its onboard LED illumination, all of which can be synced with an ever-growing portfolio of Aura-capable ASUS hardware.

• Reinvented SafeSlot

  SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance which protect your graphics card investment. Manufactured in a single step using a developed injection-molding process integrates the slot with the fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.

• Q-LED indicators

  With a design inspired by an armored cockpit, see the power and act on the alerts, with a clear indication of five vital boot actions.

• Strong protection with airflow-boosting potential

  Sabertooth 990FX R3.0's connectivity ports are protected by strong armor that also looks just great. And, if you fit an additional fan, the port armor boosts airflow for the best possible cooling - with temperature reductions of up to 11°C!

• Thermal Radar 2

  Thermal Radar 2 lets you control fans on ASUS graphics cards, as well your case fans! Multiple onboard sensors also let you monitor temperatures onboard and other key components in real time, so you can adjust manually or optimize automatically with one click.

• TUF LANGuard - Intel Gigabit LAN

  Sabertooth 990FX R3.0 is engineered with state-of-the-art Intel Gigabit Ethernet for super-fast networking at up to 1 Gpbs, and protected by TUF LANGuard: this military-grade innovation integrates advanced signal-coupling technology and premium surface-mounted capacitors to improve throughput - protecting Sabertooth 990FX R3.0 from lightning strikes and static electricity.

• Audio connectors

  Capacitor protection on both front and back audio-output circuits.

• LAN port

  ESD TVS diode protection on the LAN circuit bolstered by an anti-surge LAN connector that increases protection against extreme events, such as lightning strikes.

• Ultimate-speed 10 Gb/s with USB 3.1 onboard

  With three USB 3.1 Type-A ports for complete backward-compatibility with existing USB devices and one reversible 3.1 Type-C for any-way-up convenience, you're all ready for breakneck speeds of up to 10 Gbps - or twice as fast USB 3.0. And ASUS USB 3.1 Boost technology automatically accelerates USB 3.1 performance even further!

• Turbo LAN

  Turbo LAN with cFosSpeed traffic-shaping technology adds even more lag-reducing support and intuitive user interface. It allows you to lower lag with no expert knowledge - by up to 1.45x!

• TUF Audio Design

  TUF Audio Design makes short work of optimizing audio settings for the way you want to listen, chatting, watching movies or relaxing to your favorite music. Onboard physical shielding, professional engineered design and premium components result in sound output that has exceptional clarity and fidelity.
