Smart Ear
Smart EAR is a windows-based audio utility which allows you to easily adjust system volume. With its user-friendly GUI, you can also increase or decrease impedance setting (Low/High Gain) to optimize your headphone performance. You can easily enjoy high-quality and awesome sound.

Video+

HDMI 4K2K
The new 4K2K resolution enables high-definition image display with four times the resolution of full HD, 4K2K display is faithfully express bright, highly detailed content that fills the entire screen with lifelike images. Connectivity with PCs via a single HDMI cable for displaying 4K2K data.

DVI
DVI is better than VGA for LCD displays since it is digital while VGA is analog. For LCD displays, the picture is digitized pixel per pixel. Through DVI, the panel gets data for each pixel, so the picture generated in the Graphics device matches the pixels on the panel itself.

DX12
DirectX 12 introduces the next version of Direct3D, the graphics API at the heart of DirectX. Direct3D is one of the most critical pieces of a game or game engine, and we've redesigned it to be faster and more efficient than ever before. Direct3D 12 enables richer scenes, more objects, and full utilization of modern GPU hardware.

Speed+

Intel GbE LAN
Unlike ordinary LAN solution, Intel® GbE LAN offers fewer CPU resource consumption and more bandwidth stability. Thus, Intel® LAN is the best choice for performance seekers.

PCIe M.2
PCIe M.2 32Gb/s is the latest storage interface, it delivers the highest bandwidth and lower latency. It's 3 times faster compared with PCIe M.2 10Gb/s.

SATAIII 6Gbps
SATAIII 6Gbps provides a higher bandwidth to retrieve and transfer HD media. With this super speed data transfer, SATAIII allows an incredible data boost which is 2x faster than the SATA 3G.

Dual DDR4
The primary advantages of DDR4 over DDR3, include higher module density, lower voltage requirements, coupled with higher data transfer rate.

PCIe 4.0
PCIe 4.0 is the next evolution of the ubiquitous and general-purpose PCI Express I/O standard. At 16GT/s bit rate, the interconnect performance bandwidth is doubled over PCIe 3.0, while preserving compatibility with software and mechanical interfaces.

PCIe M.2 4.0
PCIe M.2 4.0 is the latest storage interface, it delivers the highest bandwidth and lower latency. It is 2 times faster compared with PCIe M.2 3.0.

USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A
USB 3.2 Gen1 delivers a compelling performance boosts and can be used to connect multiple devices without worrying about compatibility. It is capable of data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps and backwards compatible with all existing USB products.

Digital PWN
Digital PWM controller is with dual-output multiphase that faster transient performance and accurately regulated frequency control. It can be enabled to greatly increase system efficiency.

Durable+

Super Durable Solid Caps
The best quality solid state capacitors with ultra low ESR design, the Super Durable Solid Caps doubles the lifespan.

Iron Bar Protection
BIOSTAR’s exclusive Iron Bar Protection can reinforce PCI-E x16 slots to handle heavier graphics cards, prevent bending, and extend longevity of the slot, making the new-gen BIOSTAR motherboards much more robust.

Moistureproof PCB
The PCB will be oxidizing easily by damp or absorbed moisture, and ionic migration or CAF (Conductive Anodic Filament) will be generated. Moistureproof PCB meets high density and high reliability requirements for moisture proof.
Protection+

Super LAN Surge Protection
Super LAN Surge Protection, providing LAN port with more advanced antistatic protection capabilities by adding an integrated chip to strengthen electrical stability and prevent damage from lightning strikes and electrical surges. SLSP (Super LAN Surge Protection) series motherboard upgrades the existing system protection standards with maximum 4X protection comparing to other board makers.

ESD Protection
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) is the major factor to destroy the PC by electrical overstress (EOS) condition. ESD occurred by PC users when touch any devices connect to a PC, which may result in damage to the motherboard or parts. ESD protection is designed to protect the motherboard and equipment from damage by EOS.

OC / OV / OH Protection
OC / OV / OH Protection design detects overvoltage conditions and prevents voltage surges from spreading in real time. It also actively cuts off the overvoltage supply to protect your system.

DIY+

UEFI BIOS
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a brand new framework that provides a revolutionary interface. It is a modern clear and easy-to-use graphical user interface. The UEFI comes with a colorful easy-understand icons leads users into the setup layer directly.

BIO-Flasher
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.

CPU OPT
BIOSTAR offers one more fan header which is called CPU OPT. Users can use it to connect any kind of water coolers for a liquid cooling system. Keep your computer stable and enjoy your machine at the utmost potential.

Debug LED
Debug LED helps you identify any issues going with your board or hardware. When error occurs, the corresponding LED lights will inform you on the status of your board or hardware to shorten the test time effectively.
