SPECIAL OFFER Biostar X370GTN, AMD X370 motherboard socket AM4 [X370GTN]

The internal connection repertoire includes, among other things, a header for USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 for 2 ports each.

Special features at a glance:

1x PCIe 3.0 x16 for high-end gaming graphics cards
2x USB 3.1 (1x Type-C) / 6x USB 3.0 / 2x USB 2.0
4x SATA 6G + 1x M.2 slot PCIe 3.0 x4
2x PWM fan ports (4-pin)
DDR4 memory up to max. 3,200 MHz (per OC)
Racing design with stylish RGB LED lighting

Such as SSDs and hard disks, the board is managed by four SATA 6G connectors (including RAID support), as well as a horizontal M.2 slot, which is connected to four PCI Express 3.0 lanes, enabling enormous speeds up to To 32 Gbit / s. M.2 SSDs of 60 to 80 mm in length can be used and the advanced NVM Express protocol is supported, which has been specifically optimized for highly parallelized data carrier accesses of modern PCIe SSDs.

A small highlight on the Biostar X370GTN is that a USB 3.1 port with a Type C socket and a USB 3.1 port with Type A socket are located on the I / O panel on the back of the motherboard. The new USB type C port is especially thin and can be inserted at both ends. USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbit / s per port. A special feature is the built-in RGB LED lighting, which on the armor and the PCB itself allows individualizable lighting effects in all colors of the rainbow and can be controlled via software.

Finally, two fans with a 4-pin PWM connector can be connected directly to the board. On the mainboard back, additional devices and components can be connected to the Biostar X370GTN via USB 3.1 and 3.0, Gigabit LAN, PS / 2 or five audio jacks for 7.1 sound. In addition, two monitor outputs are available for display using an integrated APU graphics unit (optional): HDMI and DVI-D.
