Biostar ha appena annunciato l’arrivo di due nuove schede madri Racing mini-ITX con supporto a CPU socket LGA 1151. La Racing Z270GTN e la Racing B250GTN supporteranno i chipset Intel Z270 e B250 rispettivamente, offriranno inoltre connettività per LED 5050.
Il modello Racing Z270GTN supporterà RAM DDR4 fino a 3200mhz, mentre la Racing B250GTN si limita a DDR4-2400. A parte i differenti chipset e memorie supportate, le due schede madri sono molto simili; sono dotate degli stessi slot di espansioni I/O. L’altra differenza principale è il supporto al RAID 0, 1, 5, e 10, da parte della Racing Z270GTN così la tecnologia Intel Rapid Storage Technology.
Entrambe arrivano poco dopo il rilascio della serie di motherboards AM4: 3 in fattore di forma ATX e altre 3 micro-ITX così come una coppia di schede madri con chipset B250. Tutte sono state equipaggiate con connettori per LED, o come li chiama Biostar LED Fun Zone 5050 (i due headers 5050) e consentono di utilizzare il software in bundle LED DJ Vivid per personalizzare l’illuminazione con i vari colori ed effetti.
Biostar non ha ancora comunicato il prezzo o la disponibilità per i due nuovi modelli mini-ITX Racing Z270GTN e Racing B250GTN.
