To deliver enhanced cooling, reliability and stability, ASUS has unveiled two TUF Series motherboards – ATX Sabertooth Z87 and micro-ATX Gryphon Z87 based on the Intel Z87 Express Chipset for Fourth-Generation Core processors. They pass demanding military component and server-grade system operation durability tests.

Both of the motherboards include 10K Black Metallic capacitors and highly survivable chokes and MOSFETs, providing customers long-lasting hardware for intense use in harsh conditions. The Gryphon Armor Kit upgrade pack allows users to add premium TUF-exclusive components to the more value-priced Gryphon Z87, improving on its already robust thermal performance to prevent dust build-up and offer flexible DIY assembly options.

Both TUF Z87 motherboards include Thermal Radar 2 smart real-time temperature detection. ASUS bundles three thermistor cables with Sabertooth Z87 so users can manually verify heat levels for the graphics card, hard drives, DRAM and other critical components. Thermal Radar 2 comes with a user-friendly utility that enables detailed fan speed adjustments as well as one-click fan performance tuning for optimal cooling in every scenario.
To help Gryphon Z87 users upgrade the board with add-on parts and features, ASUS has introduced the Gryphon Armor Kit. When installed, Gryphon Armor Kit improves Gryphon Z87 thermal endurance, reliability, and dust resistance, and gives it a more distinct TUF Series look.
TUF Series Sabertooth Z87 and Gryphon Z87 motherboards priced at Rs.20,400/- and Rs.14,200/-, respectively are available with 3 years warranty in India.
