One of the early launches of the TUF line was the Socket 1156 Sabertooth 55i, which met huge demand last year in India. The product was so popular because the motherboard is designed to handle higher ambient temperature and humidity conditions. The capacitors, chokes and MOFSETs (Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) are tested to military standards by IST (Integrated Service Technology) in Taiwan. ASUS includes a certificate of reliability in the box, citing the specifications that the components are tested to. Additionally, copies of the test reports are available on their website.
