Exclusive Features

12 Phase Power Phase Design

8+4 phase VRM design with high quality power components such as low IR Direct FET MOSFETs for lower temperatures, Ferrite core chokes with lower hysteresis loss, and high quality Japanese-made solid capacitors all add up to ensure longer system life and lower power loss.
 

2 Phase Memory Power Design

2-phase independent power design increases memory voltage stability and durability.
 

100% Solid Caps

With armor-plated Biostar Technology, all capacitors are placed with 100% solid capacitors that have a lasting life cycle, durability and stability for crucial components.
 
Chipset-CPU Features

Intel X58 chipset

The Intel® X58 Express Chipset supports the latest Intel® Core™ i7 Processors using QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) with amazing and impressive point-to-point links. It provides more stability and bandwidth enhancement up to 36 PCI-Express 2.0 lanes. It also enables the nVidia® SLI technology and ATI CrossFireX™ technology to function on the same motherboard.
 

Intel Core™ i7 Processor support

Core i7 is the first family of Intel 45nm CPU processors that uses the Intel Nehalem micro architecture in LGA1366 package. It integrates with the Triple-channel memory controller with 6 DIMM slots DDR3 memory.
It includes 8MB L3 cache and supports Intel® QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) with system bus of up to 6.4GT/s and reaches the maximum bandwidth of up to 25.6GB/s.
 

3-Channel DDR3

Tpower X58 supports 6 DIMM Slots DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of DDR3 1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066. Core i7 supports 3 memory channels and setting the memory multiplier allows selection of the channel speed. These clearly uplift the band width and boost the overall system performance.
 

NVIDIA SLI Technology
Supported nVidia SLI GPU : NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 / GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+ / GeForce GTX 260 / GeForce GTX 280

The advanced NVIDIA® SLI® technology on Intel platform delivers the best gaming performance. Experience the fastest performance imaginable on new killer gaming machines. Surround yourself with amazing 3D performance, remarkable physical effects, and accelerate your most performance-driven applications.
 

ATI CrossFire X™ Technology

ATI CrossFireX™ is the ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform. With game-dominating power, ATI CrossFireX technology enables two or more discrete graphics processors to work together to improve system performance. It supports up to four ATI Radeon™ HD graphics cards, making it the most scalable gaming platform ever!
 

PCI Express 2.0 Support

PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture offers a future-proofing bridge to tomorrow’s most bandwidth-driven games and 3D applications by maximizing 5 GT/s of bandwidth. PCI Express 2.0 motherboards are fully backwards compatible with existing PCI Express products for broad support of PC peripherals.
 

eSATA

TWO external SATA 3Gb/s ports connectivity with minimal host overhead and host to device latency.
 

S/P DIF Output on board

Onboard Optical & Coaxial connector supports your desktop in transferring the non-distortion digital audio output to the AV amplifier and professional speaker system.
 
BIOS-Software Features

BIO-Flasher

Update BIOS effortlessly from a USB flash disk before entering the OS.
BIO-Flasher is a convenient BIOS update tool. Just launch this tool and put the BIOS on USB pen driver before entering the OS. You can update your BIOS with only a few clicks without preparing an additional floppy disk or other complicated flash utility.
 

BIO-ReLife

BIO-ReLife Technology lets you recover crashed BIOS data from a USB flash pen driver that stores new BIOS file. This practical BIOS utility can restore your system and recover from a BIOS crash situation.
 

BIOScreen Utility

Personalize your desktop with customizable boot logo. BIOScreen is the new feature in TPOWER X58 motherboard that lets you personalize and create your own style with unique, custom-made boot logo.
 

eHot-Line

Integrated e-service automatically sends your technical support request to Biostar Globe tech support without any delay.
 

OC-Tweaker

It has a Dynamic OC and 1-click feature for BIOSTAR MB and BIOSTAR V-Ranger graphics card functions.
 

BIO-WATCH

It monitors the MB and VGA status as well as the Fuzzy CPU fan control.
 

Biostar Flash

It features a 1-click BIOS update under Windows interface.
 
Other Features

Rapid Switch 2

Engineered by BIOSTAR, the exquisite onboard switches allow you to easily shut down and restart your system.
 

Rapid Debug 3

Rapid Debug3 posts critical POST code information in a digital LED display. When system malfunction occurs, it auto-detects the device’s failure and translates the error codes on the digital LED. It also shows the CPU temperature on the same screen.
 

Tweak Tech

Biostar has a unique engineering PWM layout with low ESR and high ripple conductive solid state caps that provide sufficient, stable power supply to the CPU. The same philosophy applies to our DDR design to enhance the memory’s voltage stability.
