Let's take a look at the test results.ġ7750886 said:Do people buy BioStar products? I have never seen them used in PCPartPicker builds or really recommended on the forums.Īlso I don't see why a lack of SATA-Express is a problem on the ASRock board as there are no devices to utilize it.
I prefer this to the Asus "Q-connector," because this method does not introduce an additional point where the leads (typically all of them at once) can be accidentally disconnected. The front-panel connector, in the front left corner, is not only color coded, but also comes with that "G-connector," which allows all front-panel leads to be pre-positioned, then attached all at once. All others have a different pinout, with the sense wire in the location needed by three-pin fans.
The fan headers are not it is worth noting that although they are all four-pin, only the CPU fan header supports a PWM fan. These connectors, as well as all other connectors along the left edge (audio, com, thunderbolt, TPM and USB2.0) are box-style, which is more secure. So far, this is the only motherboard I have seen with two USB3.0 connectors. They are side by side to the left of the ATX power connector on the front edge. The eight-pin CPU power connector is on the right edge just behind the VRM heat sink there, but the latch faces rear so there's plenty of finger room. The SATA Express and SATA 6Gb/s ports are on the front edge to the left, facing forward, so even the longest graphics card(s) will not interfere with them. The layout is open, and nothing is occluded, with the possible exception of the battery, but only if the second PCIe x1 slot is used. There were no functional options to overclock the i5-6600K on this board, just as on the other examples in this round-up.
