OVERVIEW
Intel Z270 chipset
With the Intel® Z270 chipset and the 7th generation Intel® Core™ processors,
you will immediately be at the forefront of the battlefield, fueled by mindblowing
power and performance. From content creation to gaming, the Intel Z270 chipset
provides you with the power and performance you need.
Hi-Fi
A combination of exclusive hardware & software design including "ground-
isolation circuit design","an independent audio power", and "a built=on-board
amplifier", with all these hardware features gives you the best audio quality and
performance. As for software, we offer you a free bundle utility "Multi-Channel
Calibration" which normally you'll find in high level sound systems; this feature
allows you to auto detect your location; with a user friendly interface, you can
easily adjust the volume of every speakers to make a well balanced surround
sound. And of course, the built-on-board amplifier always gives you a super
powerful sound comparing to other motherboards.
Blu-ray Audio
Upgrading your Audio performance in the easiest way is choosing BIOSTAR
ultimate Motherboard. It does support Blu-ray audio DRM (compatible
driver/software) and provide the higher audio output of 24 bit/ 192KHz than the
16 bit/ 48KHz from the normal MB. You will experience the high quality sound
effect with pure Blu-Ray Audio.
MCC
Multi Channels Calibration (MCC) can transform any room into the ideal listening
environment. With Multi Channels Calibration (MCC), audio performance is
automatically calibrated according to the dimensions of your room. Simply place
the speaker and setup the microphone at your usual listening spot, position the
speakers and connect them. The users can set up the speaker settings easily by
using a free bundle MCC software.
Hi-Fi Power
Audio power is an important factor in audio quality. Most AV equipment isolates
the power supply for each analog and digital signal to gather high-quality sound
reproduction. Equipped with BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Power technology, it will utilize audio
components with independent power design for a significant reduction in
electronic noise and superb sound quality.

Hi-Fi Ground
BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Ground ( Golden Line ) is noise-blocking multi-layer PCB design to
isolates analog audio signals from digital sources. Unique PCB layout is ideal for
exceptional clarity and high fidelity sound.

Hi-Fi Sound
BIOSTAR Hi-Fi series motherboards have a sampling rate of 192kHz/24-bit which
delivers a high quality audio through an analog connection to your home theater
system, multi-channel speakers and high-end headphone. You can enjoy real Blu-
ray grade high-definition sound that you’ve never experienced before.

Hi-Fi AMP
The built-in amplifier can drive major high-end headphones with over 100dB
loads and offer wide band-width, low noise, high slew rate and low distortion
audio source from front panel I/O. Gaming enthusiasts can enjoy a fuller range of
dynamic sound with crisper details and less distortion.

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.
Hi-Fi Resistor
Metal-oxide film resistors are made of metal oxides such as tin oxide. The electric
characteristics are greater stability and reliability than regular metal film
resistors when operating in an extremely broad working temperature range. This
special component is used in applications with high endurance audio demands.
Hi-Fi Cap
BIOSTAR Hi-Fi series motherboards come with high quality ‘Non-Polarized
Electrolysis Electric audio capacitors’ for each audio channel circuit. The
customized audio capacitors deliver low noise, low distortion, and wide
bandwidth to achieve the highest sound resolution and sound expansion. The
critical component will ensure the most realistic sound effects to gaming
enthusiasts.
Hi-Fi 110dB+
Embrace exceptional sound quality for the win with 110dB SNR and stylish and
efficient EMI shield blocks electromagnetic interference to help provide cleaner
audio. It has achieved a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 110dB, yielding almost loss-
less audio form rear audio connectors.

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.
USB 3.0
Experience Fastest data transfers at 5 Gbps with USB 3.0--the new latest
connectivity standard. Built to connect easily with next-generation components
and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfers data 10X faster and backward compatible with
previous USB 2.0 components.
Charger Booster II
Charger booster 2, with maximum voltage up to 2A which provides a quicker
charging time on various portable devices.

PCIe 3.0
PCIe 3.0 is 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.
Super Durable Ferrite Choke
Super Durable Ferrite Choke brings the benefits of higher current capacity, lower
energy loss and better power stability.

Super Durable Solid Caps

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

Moistureproof of PCB
The popularity of PC usage and working environment is getting deteriorating and
moist (rural, coastal, etc.). The PCB will be oxidizing easily by damp or absorbed
moisture, and ionic migration or CAF (Conductive Anodic Filament) will be
generated. Moisture-proof PCB meets high density and high reliability
requirements for moisture proof.
Low RdsOn P-Pak MOS
Low resistance design can significantly reduce the current out of energy loss. Low
temperature, small size, excellent thermal conductivity.
Super Anti-Surge Protection
BIOSTAR exclusive Anti-Surge design provides the best protection of board and
extends the product life. Having the latest model of "Transient Voltage
Suppressor" on- board can effectively protect the board circuit, reducing the
shocks caused by ESD as well as other damages arising from overvoltage
transients to enhance system durability.
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.

VIVID LED DJ
Racing Series exclusively features on-board LED design. Via the creative Vivid
LED DJ application, you can control and modify the colours of LED on MOS
heatsink and on the edge of board. When you play music, it can perform LED
light show, following melody. Moreover, Vivid LED DJ features options for
designing LED visual effect, including Normal, Eco, and Sports mode on your own.
Racing Series with Vivid LED DJ make your PC a coolest gaming base ever.
 5050 LED Fun ZONE
