BIOSTAR Hi-Fi B150S1 D4 Ver. 6.x LGA 1151 Intel B150 USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Audio power is an important factor in audio quality. Most AV equipment isolates the power supply for each analog and digital signal to ensure high-quality sound reproduction. Equipped with BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Power technology, it utilizes audio components with independent power design for a significant reduction in electronic noise and superb sound quality.

BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Ground ( Golden Line ) is noise-blocking multi-layer PCB design to isolate analog audio signals from digital sources. Unique PCB layout is ideal for exceptional clarity and high fidelity 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 headphones. You can enjoy real Blu-ray-grade high-definition sound that you’ve never experienced before.

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 from front panel I/O. Gaming enthusiasts can enjoy a full range of dynamic sound with crisper details and less distortion.

Smart EAR is a Windows-based audio utility which allows you to easily adjust system volume. With its user-friendly GUI, you can increase or decrease impedance setting (Low/High Gain) to optimize your headphone performance. You can easily enjoy high-quality and awesome sound.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 BIOSTAR has 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.

PCI-E 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 PCI-E 2.0, while preserving compatibility with software and mechanical interfaces.

Experience fast data transfers at 5 Gbps with USB 3.0. Built to connect easily with next-generation components and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfers data 10X faster and maintains backwards compatible with previous USB 2.0 components.

To ensure the longevity of motherboard, PRO series with Tough Power Enhanced can endure massive electric current and ensure full energy output without additional energy loss, just like a super man protecting your PC system.

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. Over current protection protects motherboard from damage when doing overclock or an unusual current import. Over heat protection keeps motherboard & CPU from burning when exceeding the temperature limitation.

BIO-Remote 2 Technology gives users a better Home Theater environment. Users who own either Android mobile or Apple goods are able to access and control their PC remotely; At this moment, the smart device becomes an intelligent and functional remote controller; more than that, BIO-Remote 2 also includes function of mouse pad and power point presentation mode.

The Intel B150 chipset features a single-chipset design to support socket 1151 Intel 6th generation Intel Core processor-based platforms. It provides excellent performance and increased bandwidth and stability. Intel B150 chipset can also enable iGPU function, letting users enjoy the latest Intel integrated graphic performance. The PC platform features improved adaptive performance that adds speed when you need it. When combined with advanced system responsiveness, the platform delivers the ultimate PC experience.
