* Bare motherboard only* * No back plate/driver cd/manual or cables* Supports the Intel Core i 7 & Intel Core i 5 Processors in the LGA1156 Package Intel P55 single chip architecture 12 Phases Power Design Support 4-DIMM DDR3-2600 (OC)/2000 (OC)/1800 (OC)/1600/1333 up to 16G maximum capacity Biostar exclusive Dura-MAX technology Support ATI Crossfire X & n Vidia SLI Technology New Space-pipe heat-pipe thermal solution achieved best thermal performance 100% X.D.C Japanese solid capacitor BIOSTAR G.P.U (Green Power Utility) Technology for Energy Saving BIO-V allowing you to check the voltages of the motherboard with a multimeter BIOSTAR Toverclocker utility On board Dual Gb E IEEE1394, e SATA, S/P DIF Out 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, & high quality Japanese-made solid capacitors all add up to ensure longer system life & lower power loss. BIOSTAR Dura-MAX„¢ is created for the highest quality & most innovative of all motherboard designs. It is a pioneering design that innovates IR Direct FET„¢ MOSFET, delivering a dramatically lower system temperature, enhanced energy efficiency & enhanced stability for overclocking needs. Also, it is combined with Japanese solid capacitors & Ferrite core chokes with higher power switching efficiency. Tpower i 55 motherboards with Dura-MAX„¢ guarantee stability, reliability & durability in meeting the motherboard power requirements of new Intel processors & other components that run todays most demanding applications & games. Space-Pipe SPACE“pipe is a new silent north bridge cooling device. It uses a heat-pipe to conduct heat from the chipset heat sink to a PWM fin-heat sink collection module. Airflow from the CPU fan removes the heat collected from the CPU, the chipset, & PWM fin-heat sink, which cools your system effectively with no additional noise. BIOSTAR G.P.U (Green Power Utility) is a new function that enhances energy efficiency by disabling extra phases while CPU is under light loading. It integrates a friendly GUI to monitor the resourcing & response of your CPU thus optimizing the power saving function in your system. G.P.U. constantly sets up the best power efficiency in your system, be it for heavy 3D gaming, Internet or MSN charting.
