TUF DetectiveĪttached to the Z170 TUF motherboard was a tablet running the TUF Detective application. Whether you think this is useful for a 990FX board in mid-2016 is up to you. Ultimately I think the Q-LEDs should be nearer the bottom, just in-case a large GPU comes along and blocks the view. I think this is a great idea, as it allows for a bigger font size and arguably more powerful/configurable LEDs next to a microcontroller. It would seem that for the R3.0, the Q-LEDs have made it on the chipset heatsink. Now normally the Q-LED layout was a small segment on the top right of the board, with some onboard text saying which LED did what. If there is an issue, the LED that stays lit should show you which part has an issue. As the system checks different parts of itself in POST, the LEDs relating to CPU, DRAM, VGA, Booting and PWR light up in turn. As the hardware may have changed since the startup, or the quality of the hardware has changed over time, the system needs to ‘retrain’ its pathways to make sure it can support the data rates the BIOS tells it to.

ASUS’ system uses a series of LEDs that light up as the system turns on and configures itself for the hardware inside. One of the interesting things for me, however, was the adjustment of the Q-LEDs. One of these is USB Type-C, supporting the reversible USB connection standard now being seen on some smartphones. These are from ASMedia ASM1142 controllers, with one for each pair of ports. The rear panel comes with four USB 3.0 ports from the chipset as well as four USB 3.1 ports. This means upgraded power delivery, combination heatsinks and that reinforced PCIe slot, but it also gets visual enhancements such as the color scheme and rear IO cover to maintain the look. The 990FX Sabertooth has had two versions already, and at Computex we saw R3.0 with RGB LEDs, reinforced PCIe slots, M.2 integration, USB 3.1 Type-C, semi-transparent PCIe latches and a new variant of ASUS’ Q-LED.īeing part of the TUF family means that ASUS tends to over-engineer the board to cope is harsher environments.
#SABERTOOTH 990FX CPU LED UPDATE#
Due to the age, most motherboard manufacturers issue the odd update now and again to refresh the line with some of the latest technologies. 990FX Sabertooth R3.0ĭespite AMD’s 990FX platform being nearly five years old, the FX processor line still represents AMD’s high performing processor lineup for consumers. At this point the Mark S doesn’t have the TUF branding, but it takes a lot of the aesthetic design – we reviewed the genesis model #0001 off the production line back in November 2014. Typically we see one or two TUF motherboards each generation, with the Sabertooth variant in a camouflage design and the Mark S in white camo.
First up is the TUF range, which ASUS uses as their hardware wearing, more physically demanding and higher warrantied product line.

and it's back to being dead with the red cpu led mocking me. and nothing, so it's the psu right?īought a new psu, hooked it up and it was alive, was able to log to windows. I haven't noticed but a guy at a repair shop told me that the cpu led was constantly on.īorowed a psu (500w) and it worked, although didn't run it long since i was worried there might not be enough power. Took everything out, switched ram, reset the bios. Tried to restart, screen was black, and no bios sounds although fans worked.

A few days ago my PC just froze while browsing the web.
