BIOSTAR introduces Skylake ready GAMING Z170X4 motherboard

[That Norwegian Guy]

I hope the heatsinks end up being AsRock's old dark copper style with golden/ yellow accents, that'd fill the void for golden builds AsRock left (and Asus' one was tacky)

 

 

They make extremely cheap bad motherboards. They are some of the cheapest motherboards, but they just have just terrible quality. 

 

Get out.

This is biostar, not asrock...

I never said it was. I said I want someone to take over their Z77 era colour scheme.

Some motherboard brands, you may not have heard of.

PC CHIPs, A-Open, Abit, Azza, Epox, Sapphire, Soyo. DFI Lan Party. Epox is still alive and it's now called SUPox.

 

Here is a board from Soyo and Sapphire. Look white PCBs

So did Noctua partner with Biostar for this motherboard?

Biostar used to produce some record breaking boards back in the P45 days.

So does the P in your name stand for poop?

i have readed in some rumors, that for skylake the voltage regulation gets away from the chip again.

So this would be good news for overclock enthusiasts.

But this also means that for overclocking, boards with a decent vreg design are going to make sense again, on intels MS platforms.

saw this update today. Looks like we get to see the heat spreaders.

 

 

Also looks like it will include USB Type C

 

The feature list includes Type-C USB 3.1 connectivity and dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers. Onboard overclocking buttons abound, while plastic "armor" covers multiple regions. It looks like there are a couple of SATA Express ports on the right edge, as well.

It's a really good looking Motherboard I think.

i have a mother biostar with a 2500k running at 4.8 ghz 24/7 since 2 years already, and never had any issue.
