Ive been deciding on which one to get. Does the z87 Sabertooth have the 4- way optimization and "one" click overclocking like the pro does?
>Yes
On which one to get entirely up to you. The overclock you will get wont be determined by the board it will be the cpu itself so go with whatever will look best in your rig or if you really need a rig with wifi then go with the pro.
Have you considered the Hero?
I believe that all the Asus Z87-series boards have the ability to use the Asus III Suite to one click overclock. Honestly, it comes down to what features you need from your board between the two you are debating about.
Personally, I really like the Pro. The few additions with the digi-power and the wireless put it over the sabertooth for me. Aesthetically the sabertooth boards look good. I have the 990FX version of the sabertooth series. Overall though both boards are great and will serve you well.
I would opt for the pro. You drop the aesthetic for better connectivity, but that hardly seems a trade off considering most motherboards don't have this "thermal armour" nonsense :P
I can recommend the ROG Hero, which someone else has mentioned. Trouble is, Haswell is much of an overclocking platform. The Hero has a great black and red colour scheme, plus quality components (ROG is a great overclocking choice) and great audio.
Sabertooth strikes me as too expensive. It doesn't have enough features for its price tag, in my opinion.
*cough* 5 year warranty *cough*
*COugh* extra placeable thermal sensors *cough*
*cough* Board backplate for rigitidy *cough*
:P
what ya wanna do with it?
If I am honest, the 5 year warranty is the only thing that's really strikes me as worth having, Thanos.
xD
Haha yeah it was like why i put it at the top, Admitidly i like the idea of having a backplate on the gryphon impaticular as M/atx systems can be built to be portable so it makes i nice reasurance that stuff won't break while lugging it around, but for the sabertooth it's nice but nothihing amaizing. and those extra thermal sensors well it really depends on what your doing with it as most of the time people won't really have a use for them.
Did you sell your XFX 750? There's a good chance it isn't multi-rail
in the end i did'nt but i did end up doing alot... and i mean alot of research on it specificly and power supplys in general. but no you were right the bronze edition is a multi job unlike the silver and gold, but it's desinged by XFX and built by seasonic so i think i can live with it lol. each rail has a throughput of 32 AMPS each and i run my GPU on a seperate rail to the cpu and motherboard so it should'nt trip the falesafe on the PSU with any over curent. although the whole history of multi-rail and single rail is quite interesting and does explain alot in regards to why we have a now anyway, misplaced distrust of multi-rail.
Good stuff, man.
indeed man, totaly reccomend reading in to it all. i found alot stuff that was an eye opener for me
