BIOSTAR Launches Hi-Fi H170Z3 Mobo with both DDR4 and DDR3

The Hi-Fi H170Z3 is the first ever Motherboard to support both DDR3 and DDR4 showing its commitment to innovation and development.

he Hi-Fi H170Z3 is based on Intel's H170 chipset which is a single chip design that supports Intel 6th generation socket 1151 Intel Core processors. With the Intel H170 chipset, the Hi-Fi H170Z3 also has the iGPU function enabled, letting users enjoy the latest in Intel integrated graphics performance.

Of course as a Biostar motherboard, the Hi-Fi H170Z3 comes with Hi-Fi technology built inside. Puro Hi-Fi technology features an integrated independent audio power design with a built-in amplifier. The technology utilizes audio components with an independent power delivery design for a significant reduction in electronic noise producing superb sound quality. The Hi-Fi H170Z3 supports USB 3.0, PCIe M.2(32Gb/s), SATA Express(16Gb/s) and 4K monitors for triple display configurations.


There is also Biostar's Smart Speed LAN included which is a free software application that 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. Smart Speed LAN can feature automatic management options that use adaptive networking intelligence to ensure that you are getting the best online experience possible.

Not only that, this board also adopts X.D.C (eXtreme Durable Capacitors) which arequality solid capacitors to help make sure the board remains rock solid and stable. These are low ESR and high ripple conductive solid state capacitors that provide a stable power supply to the CPU. The life span can also be more 6.25 times than ordinary liquid caps. 

The board features the user-friendly tools such as BIOS Flasher and BIOS Online Update for easy updating and restoration of the BIOS. Also included is BIO-Remote2 Technology which gives users a better Home Theater environment. Users can use either Android or Apple mobile devices to access and control the PC remotely. Your smart device can become an intelligent and functional remote control. Moreover, BIO-Remote2 also includes both the function of mouse pad and power point presentation modes.

The Hi-Fi H170Z3 fully meets the requirements for systems running under the Windows 7, Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10.

The MSRP for the Hi-Fi H170Z3 is 104.99 USD.

Pretty much my experience with them as well. I wouldn't say they're bad but I definitely wouldn't put one in a gaming PC. Perfectly acceptable and well priced for some beat-around desktop for daily activities.

when the Sands Bridge 2600k came out, Biostar had one one of the best boards for it and over clocked it superbly. I always labeled them like everyone else does but the reviews and useage from sites like overclock.net had it going amazing. it's still running my box just like a $250+ asus board would be running it.

I would look at reviews 1st before buying but I don't ever just label them as turds anymore.

i had 2 really great experience with Biostar:
-one with an X58 board for a friend, this board were 100Euro less than Asus and do lot more with an impresive finish. the board is still working with an i7X on heavy OC (part of my team in WoWS)
-and the other with a cute tiny itx 1155 with everything that we have now on an itx board but that were exeptional feature at this time, same nice finish (despite not too fon of orange lol) but good quality and OC.

it's like ASrock, it's a brand not too much know but really innovative
