Febru\u00adary 9th, 2015, Tai\u00adpei, Tai\u00adwan \u2013 BIOSTAR<\/span> has laun\u00adched the latest high-end gam\u00ading board, the Gam\u00ading Z97X<\/span>, a board with the new Gam\u00ading Com\u00adman\u00adder Box acces\u00adso\u00adry as well as cut\u00adting-edge fea\u00adtures like USB<\/span> 3.1 on-board and inno\u00adva\u00adti\u00adve dura\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty enhancements.<\/p>\n

The Gam\u00ading Z97X<\/span> ushers in a brand new series of gam\u00ading hard\u00adware from BIOSTAR<\/span>, the first com\u00adple\u00adte gam\u00ading mother\u00adboard desi\u00adgned by BIOSTAR<\/span>. This is some\u00adthing new from BIOSTAR<\/span>, becau\u00adse it\u2019s not just a regu\u00adlar gam\u00ading mother\u00adboard that satis\u00adfies a typi\u00adcal gamers\u2019 needs by just mere\u00adly offe\u00adring top of the line hard\u00adware, rather it is desi\u00adgned from the ground up to be cool loo\u00adking and high per\u00adforming. Let\u2019s talk about what makes the BIOSTAR<\/span> \u201cGam\u00ading Z97X<\/span>\u201d so special.<\/p>\n

The Gam\u00ading Z97X<\/span> is an ATX<\/span> form fac\u00adtor board that fea\u00adtures Intel socket 1150 sup\u00adport and is based on the Intel Z97<\/span> chip\u00adset, coming with key fea\u00adtures such as USB<\/span> 3.1, three PCI<\/span> Express 3.0x16 slots, PCIe M.2 sup\u00adport, Dual GbE LAN<\/span> and BIOSTAR<\/span> exclu\u00adsi\u00adve Super Hi-Fi Audio tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy and sup\u00adport for Dis\u00adplay\u00adPo\u00adrt. Two on-board HDMI<\/span> sup\u00adports 4K<\/span> and 2K<\/span> reso\u00adlu\u00adti\u00adons. The\u00adre is also the intro\u00adduc\u00adtion of the SATA<\/span> Express Con\u00adnec\u00adtor which sup\u00adports both SATA<\/span> and PCIe sto\u00adrage solu\u00adti\u00adons giving maxi\u00admum data trans\u00adfer speed of up to 10Gb\/s.<\/p>\n

This board also heralds the launch of the BIOSTAR<\/span> exter\u00adnal Gam\u00ading Com\u00adman\u00adder box. It fits in a stan\u00addard 5.5\u2033 (CD-ROM<\/span>) area; it is also com\u00adpri\u00adsed of soft\u00adware with voice con\u00adtrol cen\u00adter exclu\u00adsi\u00adve\u00adly desi\u00adgned by BIOSTAR<\/span>. The exter\u00adnal box fea\u00adtures an inde\u00adpen\u00addent USB<\/span> DAC<\/span>, dedi\u00adca\u00adted MIC_IN<\/span> and Line-out jacks, but\u00adtons for volu\u00adme adjus\u00adt\u00adments, a dia\u00adgno\u00adse LED<\/span> for CPU<\/span>\/ DDR<\/span>\/ VGA<\/span> tem\u00adpe\u00adra\u00adtu\u00adre indi\u00adca\u00adtors, and exclu\u00adsi\u00adve XLou\u00adder but\u00adton for quick MIC<\/span> boost. The Gam\u00ading Com\u00adman\u00adder soft\u00adware is a user fri\u00adend\u00adly inter\u00adface with equa\u00adli\u00adzer func\u00adtions which allows users to make their own voice effects while enjoy\u00ading games.<\/p>\n

As men\u00adtio\u00adned befo\u00adre, it should be noted that the Gam\u00ading Z97X<\/span> is the first mother\u00adboard that comes with an onboard USB<\/span> 3.1 con\u00adnec\u00adtor, a new stan\u00addard known as Super\u00adSpeed +. The new stan\u00addard dou\u00adbles data trans\u00adfer rate from 5Gbps to 10Gbps, and it\u2019s back\u00adward com\u00adpa\u00adti\u00adble with exis\u00adting USB3<\/span>.0 con\u00adnec\u00adtors and all the USB<\/span> 2.0 devices.<\/p>\n

The On-board PCIe M.2 slot, available for hig\u00adher per\u00adfor\u00admance SSD<\/span>; and SATA<\/span> Express ports that sup\u00adports both SATA<\/span> and PCIe sto\u00adrage solu\u00adti\u00adons to maxi\u00admum data trans\u00adfer speed up to 10Gb\/s. Both fea\u00adtures can upgrade your sys\u00adtem per\u00adfor\u00admance in terms of data access and storage.<\/p>\n

Most of the fea\u00adtures we\u2019ve just tal\u00adked about are rela\u00adted to sys\u00adtem hard\u00adware per\u00adfor\u00admance, now let\u2019s look at the audio per\u00adfor\u00admance. The Gam\u00ading Z97X<\/span> adopts BIOSTAR<\/span>\u2019s exclu\u00adsi\u00adve Hi-Fi 3D<\/span> tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy, it enables high defi\u00adni\u00adti\u00adon mul\u00adti\u00addi\u00admen\u00adsio\u00adnal sound and gamers also get extre\u00adme\u00adly high qua\u00adli\u00adty sound with an addi\u00adtio\u00adnal ampli\u00adfier on-board. With the Gam\u00ading Com\u00adman\u00adder BOX<\/span>, you can free\u00adly use eit\u00adher sound chips from mother\u00adboard or the BOX<\/span> in dif\u00adfe\u00adrent sce\u00adna\u00adri\u00ados to get the maxi\u00admum sound performance.<\/p>\n

One thing no gamer can stand is a sud\u00adden inter\u00adnet dis\u00adcon\u00adnec\u00adtion, so BIOSTAR<\/span> has pre\u00adpared two LAN<\/span> con\u00adnec\u00adtors, with the most popu\u00adlar Kil\u00adler LAN<\/span> and Intel LAN<\/span> chips. With Dual GbE LAN<\/span>, the pri\u00adma\u00adry advan\u00adta\u00adge is doubling band\u00adwidth from 1G<\/span> to 2G<\/span>, and with two high-speed giga\u00adbit net\u00adworks plus zero packet delay that pro\u00advi\u00addes super high data trans\u00admis\u00adsi\u00adon effi\u00adci\u00aden\u00adcy. Ano\u00adther major advan\u00adta\u00adge is \u201cLoad Balan\u00adcing\u201d, it allows a gamer to attach both net\u00adwork adap\u00adters to a sin\u00adgle net\u00adwork. It will the\u00adr\u00ade\u00adfo\u00adre sup\u00adport the aggre\u00adga\u00adti\u00adon \u201cteam\u00ading\u201d func\u00adtion by mer\u00adging the two con\u00adnec\u00adtions to sup\u00adport mul\u00adti\u00adple aggre\u00adga\u00adti\u00adon modes. In addi\u00adti\u00adon, two Giga\u00adbit Ether\u00adnet light\u00adning pro\u00adtec\u00adtion cir\u00adcuits redu\u00adce the pro\u00adba\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty of dama\u00adge from light\u00adning or other power sur\u00adge, so if one con\u00adnec\u00adtion is dis\u00adab\u00adled the other con\u00adnec\u00adtion will auto\u00adma\u00adti\u00adcal\u00adly kick in.<\/p>\n

We\u2019\u00adve tal\u00adked about high-end hard\u00adware specs, the high qua\u00adli\u00adty sound and the high speed LAN<\/span> con\u00adnec\u00adtion, what about pro\u00adduct sta\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty? BIOSTAR<\/span> has that cover\u00aded. Around the CPU<\/span> area, the\u00adre is a 12 pha\u00adse power design to pre\u00advent the CPU<\/span> from over\u00adhea\u00adting; BIOSTAR<\/span>\u2019s exclu\u00adsi\u00adve super-dura\u00adble fer\u00adri\u00adte cho\u00adkes and solid capa\u00adci\u00adtors also enhan\u00adce ener\u00adgy effi\u00adci\u00aden\u00adcy and extend the motherboard\u2019s life\u00adspan. An Anti-Sur\u00adge and ESD<\/span> design also pro\u00advi\u00addes the best pro\u00adtec\u00adtion and redu\u00adces the shocks cau\u00adsed by ESD<\/span> as well as other dama\u00adges ari\u00adsing from over\u00advol\u00adta\u00adge tran\u00adsi\u00adents thus enhan\u00adcing sys\u00adtem sta\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty and durability.<\/p>\n

The Gam\u00ading Z97X<\/span> will come with super dura\u00adble box hea\u00adders pro\u00advi\u00adding solid, secu\u00adre and dura\u00adble con\u00adnec\u00adtions bet\u00adween the mother\u00adboard and peri\u00adphe\u00adral cables. When run\u00adning such high-end machi\u00adnery some\u00adti\u00admes such tight tole\u00adran\u00adces call for some expert debug\u00adging of over\u00adclo\u00adcked or high\u00adly stres\u00adsed sys\u00adtems. For that, the\u00adre will be Super Rapid Debug 3 which gives out cri\u00adti\u00adcal POST<\/span> code infor\u00adma\u00adti\u00adon on a vivid digi\u00adtal LED<\/span> dis\u00adplay. This great\u00adly helps trou\u00adble shoo\u00adting of a system.<\/p>\n

And of cour\u00adse, it all looks cool and sharp with the armor design; the\u00adre are a lot more gre\u00adat fea\u00adtures like the LN2<\/span> switch, T\u2011Overclocking soft\u00adware &<\/span> an onboard XMP<\/span> but\u00adton for easy CPU<\/span> and memo\u00adry over\u00adclo\u00adcking, and dual HDMI<\/span> ports that sup\u00adport true 4k\/2k HD<\/span> video. We hope you can expe\u00adri\u00adence it yourself.<\/p>\n
