TUF Tested - Enthusiast Ready - ASUS X99 Sabertooth @ HiTech Legion
Now here is a quote that makes you want to hear the back story.
In the last 3 years performance wise the difference is so minor unless you run statistical benchmarks that break things down to the Nano-second you will never notice a difference.
I have a Sabertooth from the P67 days and aside from the additional fan you could install I didn't find the heat shielding to be all that beneficial, in fact it was a little annoying since the PCI Express tabs were often under the plastic shroud and just beyond finger reach. The added sensors were great if you were into that sort of thing but, I suspect a good majority of users wouldn't even know they were there.
The review at Hi Tech Legion, if you can call it that, is looking at the X99 Sabertooth and is trying to tell us something. Based on the clickbait quote you'd assume the worse but it seems they would have liked Wifi.
