   ASUS used Newsun CMOS battery
   ASUS used Newsun CMOS battery on this board instead of other better known brands. ASUS used maxell, KTS, Panasonic in the past. Seems like a cost saving switch to me.

   I think all mid to high end boards will evolve into something like we see here with just the connections and sockets visible.

     Performance should be on par

     Performance should be on par with the Sabertooth board since both TUF boards share the same components and design…

   I am planning a build with the Asus Sabertooth z97 Mark 1 with the Corsair H100i.

   Can you explain further on the fitment issues you ran into?

   Are you saying that instead of the Corsair logo being parallel to the ground, that it should be oriented 90 degrees to the left or right in order for it to fit?

   After a lot of head fu***ing around. I i have finally decided on my gaming build, it consist of a corsair 750d case, sabertooth z97 (badass looking motherboard) Intel I7 4790k (devils canyon) and a evga 780ti sc.

   The only thing I need to decide on now is what color cables and light I should use? I was. thinking blue or white! Can’t wait !

    I completed a build with an ASUS z97 Mark 1, corsair H100i, ASUS R9 280X, and a i7-4790K.

    I had an older Western Digital SSD 256 Gig. Second generation SATA that I used with it. The SSD drive was plugged into the first SATA port.

    The SSD failed on me multiple times (was working fine in it’s former laptop).

    Changed the SSD to a different port and used a different SATA cable. Seems to be fine now. I was curious if any other SATA issues have shown up. Could be motherboard, cable, or drive. It’s possible that I fixed it with the different cable but I wanted to ask around. I have read of issues with the Western Digital SATA drives so it’s my second suspect.

    I am having problem after
    I am having problem after plugging wireless adapter ‘Asus PCE N-53’ in ‘PCI-Express x1’ of ‘asus Z97 mark1’ motherboard. I am using windows 8.1.

    During whole installation of OS, I need to unplug the wireless card. I installed all drivers from DVD for this wireless card after OS install and then retried plugging in ‘Asus PCE N-53’ wireless card..Still same problem..

    Window 8.1 is showing blue screen saying something that ‘problem deptected and collecting information and wil try to restart PC’.

    Any idea, how I can fix this problem?

    Thanks,
    Krishna
