Don't know much about Biostar boards (cheap?) but I approve of naming things "racing". 🤓

Never had a Biostar mobo. Looks interesting.

Biostar used to be = cheap mobo. Nowadays they have come long ways and have become very competitive in the industry. Those racing stripes and the vivid yellow color , art form of the heatsinks reminds me of bumble bee from the Transformers rofl :funny:

Good to see armor protection on motherboards, in case you hit something while driving it

Probably grab an ASUS WS version, if one comes out.

biostar is the amd of motherboards. good price for good performance. just like DFI was when they still produced mobos but they stopped the consumer sector and focus only on indust. automation and embedded systems. if someone is looking for a quality pcb without the "ASUS™ ® © pay for the brand name" price you might wanna check those reviews out. since motherboards often aren't separated by mentionable performance gaps anyways, meaning 16x/16x biostar will be just as good as 16x/16x slot asus. leave out some fancy Auto-OC levels and leave out 10 BIOS save slots... then you got your biostar...

I've built with Biostars HiFi boards for both Intel and AMD, they're "budget" priced but very well built.

I've had 1 Biostar board in the past personally and used 2 or 3 for various builds for friends and all have been flawless! Honestly love these boards for the value- both with mainstream and high-end chipsets. **Is it just me, or are the CPU Power pin sockets missing from the photos of the X370 GT7 board?

I've built at least half a dozen PCs with a Biostar mobo, and no issues with any of them over the years. I would consider a high(ish) end mobo from them if they were priced well (and I expect they will be).

BIOSTAR has some good products but they are "underrated" I remember my old BIOSTAR TPOWER I45, that think was a O.C beast. I sold that board to a guy and he did some pretty good scores on HWBOT under DICE.

Wow, Biostar literally stepped up their motherboard design. From most ugliest to pretty decent. The unglyness of past Biostar motherboards always scared me.

I've owned a Biostar board for the last 5 years and it's still running great! Overclocks my i5 2500k to 4.4GHz easy and has been overclocked since I bought it. Wouldn't mind buying another if the price and performance is right.

You could go retro and pair it up with one of these: https://mdata.yandex.net/i?path=b1210142410_img_id6155709755246672400.jpg&size=9

Well I had to switch my pre-order on Newegg to the Biostar X370GT7 once I saw that Newegg is indeed including a free 240GB M.2 SSD with purchase. I like the look of it better than the in your face flashy Gigabyte Auorus I had previously selected too. 🙂

That's a great deal tbh. These boards look to be spot on, it's always nice to have more options.
