May 22nd, Taipei, Taiwan – Computex, Asia’s largest high-tech event, will run from June 2nd to the 6th
this year in Taipei, Taiwan and BIOSTAR will be showcasing upcoming
Intel 100 series chipset motherboards, gaming oriented motherboards and
VGA cards as well as mini PCs designed for Karaoke and IPC Embedded
solutions. Attendees are all invited to talk to BIOSTAR representatives
at their location at the Nangang Exhibition Hall 4F at Booth L1017A.
On
display will be the Intel Z170, H170, B150 chipset based motherboards
that support 6th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor family (codenamed Skylake).
More information will be revealed at Computex, so make sure to come by
and see the exclusive hardware. Also, this year BIOSTAR will be
partnering with Thermaltake who will be sponsoring some of the gaming
peripherals like cases, power supplies, CPU fans, keyboards and mice, so
visitors will be able to get their hands on running hardware to see,
touch and experience the full effect.
The
BIOSTAR booth will be showcasing the Gaming Z97X motherboard along with
the GTX 960 graphics card. The Gaming Z97X features dual LAN (Killer
& Intel) for high performance LAN connections, onboard high-speed
interfaces such as USB3.1, PCIe M.2 and SATA Express, and in-house Hi-Fi
technology for the best crystal clear sound experience.
The
Gaming Z97X is the first complete gaming motherboard designed by
BIOSTAR and is designed from the ground up to be cool looking and high
performing. It comes with BIOSTAR’s exclusive Super Hi-Fi Audio
technology and support for DisplayPort. Two on-board HDMI supports 4K
and 2K resolutions.
This
board also heralds the launch of the BIOSTAR external Gaming Commander
box. It fits in a standard 5.5" (CD-ROM) area; it is also comprised of
software with voice control center exclusively designed by BIOSTAR. The
external box features an independent USB DAC, dedicated MIC_IN and
Line-out jacks, buttons for volume adjustments, a diagnose LED for CPU/
DDR/ VGA temperature indicators, and exclusive XLouder button for quick
MIC boost. The Gaming Commander software is a user friendly interface
with equalizer functions which allows users to make their own voice
effects while enjoying games.
With
the Gaming Z97X BIOSTAR has prepared two LAN connectors, with the most
popular Killer LAN and Intel LAN chips. With Dual GbE LAN, the primary
advantage is doubling bandwidth from 1G to 2G, and with two high-speed
gigabit networks plus zero packet delay that provides super high data
transmission efficiency. Another major advantage is "Load Balancing", it
allows a gamer to attach both network adapters to a single network. It
will therefore support the aggregation "teaming" function by merging the
two connections to support multiple aggregation modes. In addition, two
Gigabit Ethernet lightning protection circuits reduce the probability
of damage from lightning or other power surge, so if one connection is
disabled the other connection will automatically kick in.
The
Gaming Z97X looks cool and sharp with the armor design and there are a
lot more great features like the LN2 switch, T-Overclocking software
& an onboard XMP button for easy CPU and memory overclocking.
BIOSTAR hopes you can come by to experience it yourself at Computex.
The MSRP for the Gaming Z97X is US$189
