Asus Rampage III Gene and Sabertooth X58 motherboard Review @ TechReport

Published: | Posted By:

Two distinct motherboards based on the same chipset for slightly different market segments.  Sounds confusing, but is the reality of the situation.  The Rampage III featured in the review is a MicroATX design with a heart for overclocking, while the Sabertooth is a low cost bulletproof design for the mainstream market.

Calling the Sabertooth a retro motherboard doesn't do justice to the fact that this is cutting-edge high technology. Still, I can't help but feel like the board is a bit of a throwback—in a good way. The color scheme, for example, looks like it was inspired by the palette from the original Quake.

Both boards look great, however the green, brown, black color found on the Sabertooth is butt ugly.
