[@uncledaydays]

This guy from asus is a GREAT talker haha... he knows his shit, AND has an answer for everything it seems, and a good one!

[@thvec737]

That Sabertooth z97 Mark 2 will be mine when the i7 4790k is released :)

[@FatedCb]

God how do you make these videos look so good in 360p as well as 1080p?

[@teksyndicate]

good lens.

[@FatedCb]

Tek Syndicate Well of course but what I'm really trying to get at is your export settings.

[@teksyndicate]

FatedCb Just h.264, 1 pass, 10 mb/s... and these are from OBS files... so they should look grainy.

[@FatedCb]

Tek Syndicate Awesome! Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a whirl.

[@DapperDanLovesYou]

Professional lighting also helps immensely; a dark video in 360p is going to be even more confusing.

[@wonderboy2402]

I have had the sabertooth z77 for more then a year now. I really love the build quality and features coming from Asus boards. I am in the 3-4 year new build market so in another few years i will consider asus first. This guy, while sometimes a bit boring at parts undeniably knows the product and mindset of pc builders. Good vid.

[@atomicandrewvideos]

I like the shield things because you can paint them any color without risking your motherboard!

[@pkbreeze08]

Couple this board with the new Noctua Black/Grey fans and you have the beginnings of an awesome Monochrome Build. Interesting to get your thoughts on other components that would match these.

[@devjock]

press 0 and 3 repeatedly. Awesome presentation. Looks like solid boards.

[@nafoonthebaboon]

JJ seriously knows everything there is to know about everything ASUS. never ceases to impress

[@OverDozeMKII]

that JJ dude is really good at his job

[@ElimRem]

1:00 I like how Logan tries to look smart.

[@TheOzTurkish]

Just ordered mine, can't wait to run the fan control with the enthoo primo fan junction

[@ethank2005]

Lol he looks back and forth from the guy to the boards like 30 times a minute

[@zeferinix]

Didn't notice until I saw this comment HAHAHAHHA

[@wwyk1993]

The Carbide 500R dpesn't have four fan slots on its side panel, the Graphite 600T has.

[@LowBudgetKiwi]

Am I the only one that think's JJ was just a fraction of a second away from breaking into a full Kermit the Frog voice several times there???

[@johnconnor5231]

Gotta give Asus credit they have a motherboard for pretty much any niche.

[@VlavlipHD]

I want the z97 sabranco!!! It looks amazibg in a white case!!!

[@TheTrueRandomness]

I really wish they'd bring the at the very least the vga probe and the 2 additional external probes over to the mainstream deluxe. Also: Is FanXpert3 finally able to control a 3pin fan on the CPU_FAN header?

[@nagasako7]

Mitsubishi Mr. Slim AC > Add More Fans ... Ambient temp of a room means more.

[@Benzin0]

I can see the ROG boards tucked away in the back... I CAN SEE THEM.

[@karimrahaman1]

Asus MAXIMUS-VII-RANGER, Asus SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK 2 or MSI Z97 GAMING 5? All help will be much appreciated,

[@adventureicecream]

I'd like to see a MiniITX in the Tuff series.

[@adventureicecream]

A Micro ATX is not a Mini ITX.

[@Thirtween]

Awesome!!

[@xx1simon1xx]

stop. switching. cameras. all. the. time. the video jerks everytime he does it, it realy bothers me

[@johnconnor5231]

Wonder if Asus actually stress tests every tuf board as JJ described seems it would be very expensive and time consuming

[@massa9027]

no M.2 or Sata Express. And the ALC8** series Audio, . what up that Asus?

[@fallenprincehouman1114]

asus b85 pro gamer vs sabertooth mark 2... which has the best price/performance ration?because i want to invest my money on a good gpu

[@Freddusya]

11:48 Holyshit !! JJ says "Uh.."

[@odaikoukash8232]

Do you have any idea what the VRM is like on the Gryphon compared to the others? As I understand it, with the Z87 the Gryphon did not have the full 8 phase VRM featured on the Sabertooth, with only 4 shared PWM drivers. Is it the same with this generation?

[@TIXX41]

You rock man the only thing I want to ask is I want to build a gaming system and I'm trying to figure out what I should go with mark 1 or mark 2 could someone help me with this

[@OD_Technology]

cant wait for my new build in june, bring on the new mobos and ddr4, im ready asus... and anyone knows if thats broadwell for the new mobos coming out in june

[@kevn33]

Why is the, Z97 Mark 1, English-full user manual not available to download from Asus.com? Only the accessory installation manual is available.

[@birdsong80]

can you get the thermal armor kit for the mark 2? Will the mark 1 thermal armor fit? It makes sense that it would but nothing that speaks of it having it

[@elic.2443]

For the Thunderbolt EXII card the motherboard manual shows on page 1-37 the TB Header for the Thunderbolt card. The Z97 has a different shaped cable than the EXII card comes with. Where can I get the right cable?

[@henry9994]

JJ will there ever be a TUF Mitx board?

[@thomasagre1279]

Is there any EMI Shielding for audio? And can you hear any EMI in the audio?

[@willj.9145]

Would a Z97 Sabertooth Mark 2 work well with an i5 4670k and Asus Gtx 780?

[@stickwelding247]

isnt the guy in black from tiger direct?

[@GastonAsston]

17:49 They were propping the Motherboard on an iMac Vesa Adapter! Wendell has a Mac! www.monoprice.com/Product?seq=1&format=2&p_id=9899

[@hoceck]

Hello a favor, I have the Asus SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK 1 Desktop motherboard Z97 Socket LGA 1150 DDR3 32G SATA3 i7 i5 i3 ATX motherboard but it has already been opened and as I need to buy it again to reuse the components that I have, could you recommend another with the same characteristics please

[@JoeSchmoeLivesHere]

Will the 5-Way optimization work with the Z97 Sabretooth Mk1?

[@mickeylickey]

Will the mark 2 work with the 4790k of the bat?

[@sandspyda5831]

do you have to use the little fans

[@MrLeoHaslett]

This guy needs to chill he doesn't stop talking

[@IkramMustafaKamal]

what the different between MARK 1 and MARK 2 ?

[@Almaynax]

HEY! What ASUS seys about 990FX SABERTOOTH GEN3 R2.0?

[@OtakuTaeguSan]

can the gryphon armor kit fit onto the mark 2?

[@piauch2206]

I bought the sabertooth mkII for like 200 and its now worth 500 ?

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

Agreed.

[@StoneWolf2077]

Should i get Mark 1 or 2?

[@giojiu]

I`m considering buying this motherboard, I mean Asus Sabertooth Z97 mark 2, what do you guys think ?

[@giojiu]

MK Vlogs Tastes differ. I`ve already bought it. It`s a great board.

[@mayunaise4382]

+Gio Iberi I pulled the trigger on one as well, I hope its good.

[@giojiu]

Rii Sama I`ve had it for several months now and it`s indeed rock solid. I`m satisfied personally.

[@TIXX41]

I ended up just going with a reg z97 and i love it 8gb of hyper x ram intell 3.40 quad core a gforce 970 4gb card

[@MultiLittlegamer]

jody gallant gtx 970 is 3.5gb

[@TIXX41]

Says 4 on the box

[@MultiLittlegamer]

jody gallant Yeah they lied, search it up.

[@TIXX41]

Meh I don't care it's a great card either way

[@semitope]

USB 3 is weird. Not just the cable, but the stupid tiny easy to bend pins. Who came up with that crap. I dont think any other pins on the board are that flimsy.

[@euphiewufie]

AllYourBase 2 of my 4 front usb ports dont work because i bent the pins on the usb 3 jack D: rip

[@gorerothed]

TUF or ROG?

[@alan-ip8bc]

Your video switches are a bit choppy

[@LeoSkyro]

what's doctor asus' twitter id?

[@TheSebberbryde]

can it handle fibernet??

[@s1ubbe]

ASUS Syndicate :D

[@adminofthegrassrootsclan9438]

Hey guys, i really need a help here. I never build any PC on my own but currently thinking on building one for the purpose of having a workstation for a small studio. These are the parts that i'm thinking to purchase : Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 Asus Z97 Sabertooth Mark1 Corsair Vengeance Black 16 GB WDC SATA III Blue 1 TB Asus GTX 970 DirectCU II Corsair Carbine SPEC-01 Corsair CS750M APC BR1200 GI Power Saving Back UPS Pro Asus PA238 Q My questions are, is there any part that i should replace in terms of cost effective and is there any part in this build that will cause any bottleneck or basically any issues that may appear later on? Also, i'm thinking to SLI the graphic card later in the future when i have more money just to increase our productivity in the studio, will there be any problem with that? and what do i really need a water cooling solution for this build, just like everyone had been telling me? and If i do, what is the affordable but decent water cooling solution that you guys think i should get? Thank you so much for your time and answer, I sincerely hope that some of you can answer my questions. Have a good day!

[@benjamins7229]

no, u don't need water cooling, it would be nice if you plan on overclocking, but i'm not too familiar with that processor so i don't know what it's capable of. i would guess u don't need water cooling. u need to opt for an ATX chassis and at least 3 case fans, 2 exhaust and 1 intake minimum. exhaust out the top and back, intake from the front. elementary. and if you do go for water cooling, just get the preassembled self contained CPU loops that corsair sells. they can be had for about 70 bucks. easy and cheap

[@fitingsthdown]

***** Go for the ANTEC HCG-850M for PSU.( your system doesnt nearly call for that much but if u ever plan on doing any upgrades, it will be nice to have the headroom.) I did HEAVY reading on it before i went in for the purchase and even though it's an 80+Bronze rating, everything about it is great for overclocking.(very stable voltages) i have my 4670K overclocked to 4.5Ghz stable at 1.240 with TWO MSI Twin Frozr 290X in crossfire (overclocked as well). I have had this setup now for 7 months now with 0 problems. Also, get 16gigs G.SKILL RipJaws 1600mhz cas7 or cas8 ram. They overclocked very well for me and from what I've read, that has been the general experience overall. ( I bought 2 sets of 4X2 G.Skill RipJaws 1600Mhx CAS8) coming out to all 4 slots filled and 16 gigs in total.

[@xetion9573]

+B3N S are you stupid? You mean 2 intake one exhaust right?

[@daviesjack12]

All great motherboard but JJ fuck sake he goes over the bloody top with marketing shit which we wont use :D

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

It's hilarious that you are using an Apple VESA adaptor for a mono stand. LOL!!!!!

[@PhotoPhreak17]

I'm getting the mark 1. Will it fit in a mini case?

[@farcorfe337]

no

[@xnagato666x]

No

[@fiece4767]

No.

[@tophmedia]

will the sabertooth z97 mark 1 and mark 2 have the armor?

[@Abyssnyan]

Mark 2 does not have the armor.

[@TheInternetBully94]

***** what does the armor do?

[@Abyssnyan]

TheInternetBully94 Well it looks better (Not in my opinion though), protects it from dust and gives it better cooling.

[@DEADinSPACEGamingnet]

what does the armor do

[@Obababoy]

+DARKSIDE Gaming cost money...lol

[@zorhis1996]

would the mark 1 be a good match with the intel i7-4790?

[@BallisticTech]

I'd think the 4790K would be better. I'd definitely want to overclock my CPU if I'm dropping $200-$250 on my mobo. But yeah should go well together.

[@benjamins7229]

yea, get the 4790k. and word of advice, get the mark 2. that thermal armor BS is a ripoff, its PLASTIC, strictly plastic. the only thing it protects from is dust, it in no way serves as 'thermal' armor. if anything, i would think it actually increases temps, i don't care what they say, theres no way covering up the chipset, decreasing airflow, lowers temps. no way at all, i may be wrong, but i seriously don't think that i am.

[@zorhis1996]

i dont care B3N S i like how it looks :)

[@benjamins7229]

zorhis1996 your money, not mine

[@zorhis1996]

ik :)

[@vitorferreira8899]

Too bad i dont have the money to get a decente PC... :(

[@RprtBak]

My current desktop is 8 years old. Hah! I win!

[@fiece4767]

Your comment is 8 years old as of now.😁

[@RprtBak]

@@fiece4767 dang that's crazy.

[@MrAsus3571]

only reason they have that bs plastic shroud on their boards is to make the pcb more ridged

[@HaanSoIo]

wuhuuuuuuuuuuu JJ < Asus

[@CaptivaLP]

You should fix the chromatic abortion on the camera which films the boards and please fix these horrible cuts :D

[@MegaAtHome]

sub 301 club, I feel special now

[@Tezliov]

You realize that the views stay at 301 for like an hour, right? Not "special" at all.

[@MegaAtHome]

you spend too much time on the Internet, dear friend. otherwise you would have understood what I said

[@Tezliov]

***** So you're going on a technology channel and complaining that the people there like using computers...

[@MegaAtHome]

personal preferences are no excuse for inappropriate behaviour

[@julesdumont1492]

So... after all these years we are still having pc systems that look like village idiots compared to quantum systems. Aside from that it's been at least 5 years since we had a real jump in cpu performance in the 2600K / 3770K / 4770K segment. It's about damn time we get to unlocked 8-core / 16-thread cpus for the same price. Intel and AMD are just milking the status quo... I want to render some Mental Ray eye candy at usable times, so intel, please have a REAL, WORTHWHILE STEP FORWARD, since we are still slugging around in the CPU-world. 700-1000€ for a 6-core CPU with a little more cache and Quad-Channel support? Only stupid people with a load of money fall for this. Maybe I should just buy a 20nm Geforce and render with iRay after it's out...

[@B8rad88]

I hate new technology! My wallet cant keep up! I'm so jealous!
