Biostar B350GTN, AMD B350 motherboard socket AM4 [B350GTN]

The advanced AMD X370, B350 and A320 chipsets for the enthusiast, mainstream and base segment provide many advanced I / O interfaces and connections for peripherals, while additional data lines are directly controlled by the CPU or APU.

AMD Logo AM4 motherboards also support fast and energy-efficient DDR4 memory in dual channel mode, depending on the board, even with ECC error correction support. The highly developed "Zen" microarchitecture and the associated AM4 platform form the ideal basis for powerful systems in any application.
Features of the BIOStar B350GTN in mini ITX format

The BIOStar B350GTN is a motherboard in mini ITX format and has graphics cards with a fast PCI Express 3.0 slot with full x16 connection. Up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory, the two RAM banks take up, whereby corresponding memory can run with a maximum of 3,200 overclocked Megahertz. The internal connection repertoire includes, among other things, a header for USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 for two additional ports each.

Special features at a glance:

1x PCIe 3.0 x16 for high-end graphics cards
2x USB 3.1 (1x Type-C & 1x Type-A) / 6x USB 3.0 / 4x USB 2.0
4x SATA 6G / 1x M.2 slot PCIe 3.0 x4
2x PWM fan connectors (4-pin)
DDR4 memory up to 3,200 MHz per OC
Racing design with integrated 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 42 to 80 mm in length can be used, and the advanced NVM Express protocol, which has been specially optimized for highly parallelized data carrier accesses of modern PCIe SSDs, is supported.

A small highlight on the BIOSTar B350GTN is that there are two USB 3.1 ports (1x Type-C & 1x Type-A) on the I / O panel on the back of the mainboard. USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbit / s per port. A special feature is the RGB LED lighting on the PCB in the form of a strip, which allows individualized 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, additional devices and components can be connected to the BIOStar B350GTN via USB 3.1 and 3.0, RJ45-LAN, universal PS / 2 or five audio jacks for 7.1 sound via the I / O shield. In addition, two monitor outputs are available for display using an integrated APU graphics unit (optional): HDMI and DVI-D.

Caution: The actual I / O configuration may vary depending on the motherboard. The table shows only the basic equipment at interfaces. Other ports are also possible via additional controller chips.

AMD Socket AM4 Compatibility Note:

Because AM4 (+), AM3 (+) or FM2 (+) predecessors AM4 (+), AM4 (+), AM4 (+) AMC connectors are compatible with compatible AM4 mount sets. CPU coolers attached directly to the motherboard's retention module are fully compatible.
