<b>Protection, Professional & Providence</b>
PRO Series redefines the norm of motherboard by advanced enhancements such as AudioArt Capacitor, Iron Heart Protection, and Tough Power Enhanced to transform the PC into a professional entertainment and office hub.
<b>NEW FEATURES</b>
- PRO series comes with Nichicon high-end audio capacitors. Nichicon Capacitors offer artistic-like sound resolution and Hi-Fi audio amplification effect, making your room a live concert.
- 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.
- PRO series equipped Iron Heart Protection to strengthen the back PCB of CPU, so that the motherboard would not be bended because of the pressure of heavy CPU cooler. This design could reduce the potential risk of damages on circuit as well as on PCB. Furthermore, the newly designed Iron Heart Protection could help remove thermal air out of VRM and other key components through its special metal material. Iron Heart Protection is perfect solution of cooling and reinforcing motherboard.
<b>HD Audio</b>
Provides high quality sound with minimal loss of audio fidelity.
<b>AudioArt Capacitors</b>
PRO series comes with Nichicon high-end audio capacitors. Nichicon Capacitors offer artistic-like sound resolution and Hi-Fi audio amplification effect, making your room a live concert.
<b>Dual-Link DVI</b>
A dual link doubles the number of TMDS pairs, effectively doubling video bandwidth at a given pixel clock frequency.
<b>DX12</b>
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.
<b>Charger Booster</b>
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.
<b>USB 3.0</b>
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.
<b>Moistureproof PCB</b>
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.
<b>Low RdsOn P-Pak MOS</b>
Low resistance design can significantly reduce the current out of energy loss.Low temperature, small size, excellent thermal conductivity.
<b>Tough Power Enhanced</b>
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.
<b>Super Anti-Surge Protection</b>
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.
<b>Super LAN Surge Protection</b>
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.
<b>ESD Protection</b>
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) is the major factor to destroy PC by electrical overstress(EOS) condition, ESD occurred by PC users when touch any devices connect to PC, which may result in damage to motherboard or parts .ESD protection is designed to protect the motherboard and equipment from damage by EOS
<b>Iron Heart Protection</b>
PRO series equipped Iron Heart Protection to strengthen the back PCB of CPU, so that the motherboard would not be bended because of the pressure of heavy CPU cooler. This design could reduce the potential risk of damages on circuit as well as on PCB. Furthermore, the newly designed Iron Heart Protection could help remove thermal air out of VRM and other key components through its special metal material. Iron Heart Protection is perfect solution of cooling and reinforcing motherboard.
<b>USB Polyswitch</b>
On board dedicated power fuse to help prevent USB port failure. It prevents USB Port overcurrent and safegurand your system and device lifespan.
<b>OC / OV / OH Protection</b>
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, avoid motherboard from damage when doing overclock or an unusual current import. Over heat protection, avoid motherboard & CPU from burning when exceeding the temperature limitation.
<b>Header Zone</b>
Users can easily assemble their own computer, a simple-swap data discs and other accessories.
<b>BIO-Remote 2</b>
BIO-Remote2 Technology is featuring users a better Home Theater environment. Users who own either Android mobile or Apple goods are able to access and control your PC remotely; At this moment, you’re smart device became a intelligent and functional remote controller; more than that, BIO-Remote2 also includes both function of mouse pad and power point presentation mode.
<b>AMD A70M chipset</b>
AMD A70M chipset is designed to support up to 5GT/s interface speed and PCI Express 3.0/2.0 graphics. It natively supports SATA 6Gb/s ports and USB 3.0 Ports.
