Charger Booster

Charger booster is the best and most efficient charging solution for Apple devices such as iPad, iPhone, and iPod. Basically, Charger Booster Technology boosts the charging time to be more efficient once any Apple device is connected to our Motherboard. With Charger Booster Technology, you'll charge your Apple devices up to 42% faster.

Moisture-Proof PCB

With the popularity of creative work environments, PCs and laptops are exposed to deteriorating moisture (such as coastal areas). The PCB will oxidize easily by dampness or absorbed moisture. Then ionic migration or CAF (Conductive Anodic Filament) will be generated. Moisture-proof PCB meets high density and high reliability requirements for moisture proofing.

Low Resistance Design On P-Pak MOS

The low resistance design can significantly reduce energy loss. Low temperatures and a small size mean excellent thermal conductivity.

X.D.C. (eXtreme Durable Capacitors)

Biostar adopts low ESR and high ripple conductive solid state caps that provide a sufficient, stable power supply to the CPU. Lifespan can also be more than 6.25x ordinary liquid caps.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is a major threat to destroy your PC via electrical overstress (EOS). ESD can occur when users touch any device connected to their PC, which may result in damage to motherboard or parts. ESD protection is designed to protect the motherboard - and all other equipment as well - from damage by EOS.

USB Polyswitch

On board dedicated power fuse prevents USB port failure. It prevents USB port overcurrent and safeguards your system, prolonging its lifespan.

BIOS Virus Protection

When enabled, the BIOS will protect the boot sector and partition table by halting the system and flashing a warning message when there's an attempt to write to these areas.

OC / OV / OH Protection

All BIOSTAR special circuit 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. For over current protection, avoid motherboard damage when overclocking or importing with an unusual current. For over heat protection, avoid exceeding the motherboard & CPU temperature limitations.
