![]() ![]() I’m down with that description for the most part, but a few of them, not so much. The first set of features are what BIOSTAR refers to as exclusive. The Hi-Fi A85W features are numerous, so let’s dive right in. Realtek RTL8111F – 10/100/1000 ControllerĪTX Form Factor Dimension: 30.5cm x 23.5cm ( W x L ) Maximum CPU TDP (Thermal Design Power) : 100Watt BIOSTAR Hi-Fi A85W Motherboard Specifications Here are the official specifications as provided by BIOSTAR. So, which is it BIOSTAR? I guess we’ll find out once we explore the UEFI BIOS. The specifications web page says 2400 MHz support (OC) the features web page says 2000 MHz (OC) support and then when I opened the users manual, it claims 2133 MHz support (OC). To be honest though, I get three different stories from BIOSTAR regarding DDR3 2400 MHz support. ![]() ![]() We’ll definitely be checking out the DDR3 2400 MHz memory claim I haven’t run into a FM2 motherboard yet that even has an option in BIOS above DDR3 2133 MHz. The specification list for the BIOSTAR Hi-Fi A85W is highlighted by the use of the high end A85X chipset, a whopping eight SATA 6 Gb/s ports, full support for the new Windows 8 operating system, and support for up to DDR3 2400 MHz memory. Today’s review sample is the Hi-Fi A85W model, so let’s find out if an AMD version of BIOSTAR’s Hi-Fi motherboard continues to impress. Last time I used a BIOSTAR motherboard with the Puro Hi-Fi audio feature, I was quite impressed. Along with the release of AMD Trinity FM2 APUs, for the first time BIOSTAR has incorporated the Puro Hi-Fi design into an AMD platform motherboard. That motherboard had a marketing campaign centered around their enhanced Puro Hi-Fi audio solution. You may remember a few months back I did a review on the BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Z77X motherboard. ![]()
