ASUS unveils new TUF Series motherboard

Equipped with the new CeraM!X heatsink to provide cooling

ASUS has unveiled the first motherboard in its newly-developed ‘TUF’ (The Ultimate Force) Series, the SABERTOOTH 55i. The company said that the TUF Series is specially developed to meet the heavy computing demands of power users and perform well even under extreme conditions.

The company claims that SABERTOOTH 55i model is designed around a ‘Marine Cool’ concept and incorporates the Intel P55 chipset and ‘tough’ features to give users a stable computing platform.

The company said that the new motherboard is equipped with the new CeraM!X heatsink. With its advanced ceramics-based composition, the heatsink dissipates heat rapidly to achieve cooling. The motherboard also includes the CoolMem! Fan Frame that encloses most standard 40mm or 50mm computer fans and fits them directly over the memory module.

Asus added that the SABERTOOTH 55i motherboard delivers ESP (Efficient Switching Power) to all major components for system efficiency. Besides delivering efficient power to the CPU and memory, the power design also applies the same level of efficient power to the PCIex16 expansion slots and IC. This improves overall power efficiency and reduces the amount of heat generated.

Additionally, Asus claims that the ESP converts power at 90% efficiency compared to a conventional linear design that is only about 60% efficient.
