Asus P67 Sabertooth Features a Tactical Vest
While this motherboard might not be able to take a bullet it does have some new and interesting cooling technology. The Asus P67 Sabertooth motherboard will support the new Intel Sandy Bridge processors.
This Tactical Vest is supposed to route air to important components and shield parts of the motherboard from heat generated by GPU’s and such.They have also implemented some very accurate temperature sensors that will trigger fan speed adjustments. Lastly, they claim that the electrical components in this board are “military grade”. Asus, send one for testing now!

For a moment I thought it was one giant waterblock on a motherboard…

This is…interesting.
I’m eager to see how this new technologies fares…hope it’s not just an other gimmick.

Military grade.. lol
Isnt that what msi said aswell? the company with highest fail-rate.
I sense a gimmick and total uselessness.
It looks cool tho.

How much is this thing going to cost? Probably way out of my price range…

Its hideous!!
It would be great if they actually made it so high end overclockers could use it with LN2 cooling or dry ice, but I fear its just for ‘looks’ only…

I like the looks. Reminds me of a tank. Military grade doesn’t mean much to me… I don’t see U.S. Army P67 motherboards…

For all we know, the military got very outdated stuff.
XD

id agree military grade is pretty B.S, my case is “military grade” but the plastic on it is weaker than the triceps of a victim of the holocaust….
On the other hand the military grade headphones i own are practically indestructible. the thing looks pretty beastly for sure. We’ll see.

How heavy will that board be with all of that “vest” covering most of the PCB up?

It looks kinda cool. But we’ll just have to see how it performs and what it’s RMA ratio is.

I care.
They may up the price based on nothing but empty words.
Dont know for sure yet tho.
We don’t even know the standard for “military grade” it could be “old-windows-98-pc-grade” for all we know

Yeaaa. I tend to stay away from things that end up being a poor money investment.
