BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Ground presents noise-blocking multi-layer PCB design which isolates analog audio signals from digital sources. The unique PCB layout is ideal for exceptional clarity and high fidelity sound. It’s focused on improving sound quality beyond the regular motherboard designs.
High Quality ESD
BIOSTAR Hi-Fi series motherboards provide high quality ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) solution for its front I/O panel. This function prevents static electricity and reduces the damage to the motherboards when you are plugging or unplugging your headphone.
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.
SmartSpeedLAN
SmartSpeedLAN is a free software application which monitors and manages your PC’s network behavior. With user-friendly GUI, it allows you to select and prioritize different types of network traffic, including gaming, media streaming, communications or web surfing.You can also set any specific applications, choosing to prioritize or block accordingly. SmartSpeedLAN can feature automatic management options that use adaptive networking intelligence to ensure that you are getting the best online experience possible.

Intel® Small Business Advantage 2.0
Intel® Small Business Advantage 2.0 (Intel® SBA2.0) is a new computing platform, consisting of hardware, software, and firmware for small businesses without a managed network. Once configured, the technology will continually monitors your security and alarms you if it's been compromised viruses or malware. It will also automatically back-up your company's data and manager routine maintenance tasks.
Intel SBA2.0 also includes five main applications :
Software Monitor
Software Monitor helps keep critical security software running by monitoring it at the hardware level and alerting the business if there has been an attack. The Software Monitor also maintains an event log that shows status information and any errors generated, so businesses can know what happened.
Data Backup and Restore
Data Backup and Restore provides reliable after-hours backup of critical data using the local maintenance timer to power on the computer. Data can be backed up to a designated location.
USB Blocker
The optional USB Blocker lets businesses control access to their infrastructure, preventing unauthorized USB devices or file imports or exports on company computers.
PC Health Center
PC Health Center can schedule and do PC maintenance tasks after hours, without interrupting employee work time. Tasks such as updating the operating system, deleting temporary internet files, and running disk defragmentation can be done at night. PC Health Center works even if the computer is powered-down, as long as it is plugged in.
Energy Saver
With the optional Energy Saver, businesses can save energy by scheduling PCs to power-down at the end of the day and turn on before the work day begins - ready for employees as they arrive in the morning.
New Enhancements
Import/Export, Enhancements with Windows 8, Easier Customizations
Intel Appup for Resellers
An app store built for business, featuring Intel® SBA enhanced apps.
