Intel^® Optane™ Technology Ready

With Intel^® Optane™ technology, you can unleash the power of your processor instead of it working at a fraction of its power. Eliminating that bottleneck requires better storage memory that is fast, inexpensive, and non-volatile. Intel^® Optane technology has the potential to revolutionize big data, high-performance computing, virtualization, storage, cloud, gaming, and many other applications.

The new VIVID LED Armor comes with I/O Armor and Audio Armor to protect the I/O interfaces and audio electronic components from static electricity. What's better, it exclusively features the onboard RGB full-color LED lightings with BIOSTAR VIVID LED DJ application for DIY lovers to create their unique personal styles by changing PC color schemes.

The brand-new 5050 LED Fun Zone comes with two 5050 LED headers to bring more colorful lighting options to DIY lovers. They can fully enjoy the DIY fun of modding their PCs with uniquely personal style and LED strip or any kind of LED product to adjust the color of LED and change system color scheme by VIVID LED DJ application.

M.2 heatsink features ultra-high cooling efficiency to protect the M.2 connector area and the chipset area from thermal problems and extend the M.2 lifespan for long-term and stable operating.

The Intel X550 chipset supports 10GbE LAN, delivering 10 times faster than a traditional LAN, bringing lower power consumption and compatible with existing GbE devices. It can allow heavy load applications, such as cloud drive, high-definition video, or network-attached storage (NAS), to operate without any latency.

Digital Power+ uses IR's digital PWM controller and PowIRstage™ IC, offering the excellent precision in delivering stable power and 100% fixed voltage to critical components of the motherboard with the maximum performance and reliability. The PWM controller allows the CPU VRM to adjust power delivery speed much more quickly and the PWM spectrum supports power delivery rated up to 60A for each phase, providing enthusiasts with exceptional control over the maximum overclocking potential of the CPU.

BIOSTAR new H/W design Lightning Charger supports the functions of USB port and quick charge with the amazingly fast charging time to help your mobile devices achieve up to a 75% charge in just 30 minutes; meanwhile, it supports QC2.0 (up to 12V/1.5A output), APPLE mode (5V/2.4A), and BC1.2.
