BIOSTAR recently expanded their T Series og mainboards with the introduction of the TZ68K+ motherboard based on the latest Intel Z68 Express chipset. The new board features the standard ATX form-factor (305 x 230 mm) and is aimed at system integrators and individual builders of high-performance desktop systems. The BIOSTAR TZ68K+ boards are equipped with four DIMM slots supporting dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 16 GB including the “overclocked” DDR3-2200Mhz modules. Peripherals are supported via two PCI-E x16 2.0 slots (x16 + x4), two PCI slots and one PCI-E x1 2.0. There are two speedy interfaces for storage – SATA3 6 Gbps/s and four SATA2 3 Gbps/s connectors. The latest high-speed USB 3.0 interface is realized with the additional ASMedia ASM1042 chip, and two USB 3.0 ports supplement five USB 2.0 ones.
