Intel H61 Chipset
The Intel H61 Express Chipset is a single-chipset design to support the new 1155 socket Intel 3rd/2nd Generation Core i7 / Core i5 / Core i3 / Pentium / Celeron processors. It provides improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, which allows increased bandwidth and stability.

Intel LGA 1155 3rd Generation Intel Core Processor support
Intel 3rd generation processor “Ivy Bridge” is the codename for Intel’s 22nm of the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture. The first to use tri-gate(“3D”) transistors, it is also backwards-compatible with the Sandy Bridge platform requiring a BIOS/firmware update.

HD Audio
Provides high quality sound with minimal loss of audio fidelity.

HDMI 3D Visual
The HDMI 3D Visual provides a level of interoperability for devices designed to deliver 3D content over the HDMI connection. The latest HDMI Specification adds key enhancements to support the market requirements for bringing broadcast 3D content into the home featuring key enhancements for 3D applications including the addition of mandatory 3D formats for broadcast content.

DirectX 11
Direct3D 11 enables Direct3D 10 APIs and Direct3D 11 APIs to use one underlying rendering device. And it allows developers to achieve a high speed, fully conformant software rasterizer.

Charger Booster
Charger booster is the best and efficient charger solution for apple devices such as iPad, iPhone. Basically, Charger booster Technology is able to boost the charging time to be more efficiency and faster once any apple goods connecting to our Motherboard. With charger booster technology, you are able to charge your apple devices up to 42 % faster.

PCIe Gen 3.0
PCIe 3.0 is the next evolution of the ubiquitous and general-purpose PCI Express I/O standard. At 8GT/s bit rate, the interconnect performance bandwidth is doubled over PCIe 2.0, while preserving compatibility with software and mechanical interfaces.

Dual DDR3-1600
It supports 2 DIMM Slots DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of DDR3 1600/1333. The processor support 2 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.

X.D.C (eXtreme Durable Capacitors)
Biostar adopts low ESR and high ripple conductive solid state caps that provide sufficient, stable power supply to the CPU. The life span can also be more than 6.25 x of ordinary liquid caps.
