![]() If anybody has any suggestions they would be appreciated. Nothing is feeding through to the monitors, every single fan is running, and the CPU LED is still red. Anyways I proceeded to remove one of the video cards and remove the Onboard battery, left it out for about 10 minutes, and when I put it back same thing. Im not sure if that is a necessary thing to have, as I think the only purpose is to move it over to short the pins for a reset and the main position of the jumper doesn't do anything but theres that. I went to clear the CMOS by using the 3pin with the jumper, but I found out that he didn't have the jumper for some reason. My first though was that he may have corrupted the BIOS from the unexpected shutdown. He has had this PC for 4 years, never had an issue like this. He was doing some windows updates and he said on steam 5/5 his power went out, when he turned the PC back on the video cards wouldn't send anything to the monitor and upon further inspection the CPU LED was now Red. The motherboard is a ASUS 990fx sabertooth (Not a r2.0 or whatever) and the CPU LED is now bright red. So Im working on a friends PC currently and I have no idea what is going on. The new Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 is out now.Before anybody asks, yes I have looked for other cases of the same problem and a lot of them were for the 990fx r2.0 motherboard At the other end is the Gigabit Ethernet socket and 6x 3.5mm stereo audio jacks providing 7.1 surround sound & microphone support. ![]() PS2 keyboard/mouse will keep n-key rollover lovers happy, while next to this is S/PDIF optical out. Highlighted in red is a new feature: BIOS Flashback, especially useful on AM3+ thanks to its cross compatibility with (soon) three generations of CPU, so you don't even need a CPU to update the latest BIOS should the board ever lack compatibility out the box. On the rear I/O there's more USB than you can swing a fist-full of mice at: 8x USB 2.0 & 4x USB 3.0, while there's those red SATA 6Gbps underneath. This function allows the user to regulate which software has bandwidth priority. The Gigabit Ethernet takes a leaf out of the Sabertooth Z77 book to include the Network iControl software. The Sabertooth has its unique T-Probe still (highlighted in red below), which has had an upgrade to include additional control for the case side-fan in order to regulates the extra airflow to hot graphics cards. ![]() The brown SATA ports (from the SB950 southbridge) support RAID 0,1,5,10, JBOD. Next to these is a capped USB 3.0 front panel pin-out (in green) that are 2 of the 6 USB 3.0 ports (which is an upgrade from 4 previous). There's now a full complement of 8 SATA 6Gbps ports internally, and two more eSATA 6Gbps on the rear I/O as well (whereas previously the extras were SATA 3Gbps). The PCI slot is still included for those who still have a Xonar D2, DG or DS, for example. The PCI-Express/PCI slot layout remains the same, with 3-way SLI and CrossFireX supported via the grey and brown 16x slots. This is due to Windows 8 Fast Boot function, which, while a great new asset to accelerating your PC into Windows in about 6 seconds, can also make getting into the BIOS particularly difficult. By pressing the button it sends the board straight into the UEFI BIOS upon the next boot, so no need to smoosh the Delete key into oblivion. Windows 8 ready? That will be the the DirectKey. Use this as a foundation to further tweak the memory settings if necessary. If you're ever having memory compatibility issues, hit this button and it will intelligently seek a configuration that works, allowing you to boot the system. MemOK!īy the memory slots is also the MemOK button. In place of the Thermal Armor that jackets other TUF models, the heatsinks here have specialized CeraM!X coating technology that increases the surface area, aiding heat dissipation. See our previous article for further details on its effect. T-Topology DDR3Īt the PCB level, all four memory slots have had the T-Topology workover, which enables better dual-channel overclocking and full 4-DIMM support. Between this and the new MOSFETs that now have little TUF arrows on them (see that?), this is now branded together as the TUF Engine Digital Power Design. The R2.0 has had several upgrades įirst of which is full DIGI+ Power Control, which includes a DIGI+ VRM controller for the (2 phases on the) DDR3 channels as well as another for the (8+2 phase) CPU VRMs. Much like the Crosshair V Formula-Z there's more going on under the surface than immediately meets the eye.
