This opportunity provides the motherboard TP45E Combo, presented this week by BIOSTAR. The fee supports DDR3 800/1066/1333 memory and DDR2 667/800/1066 simultaneously. Among the other advantages of the product manufacturer notes the use of an exclusive energy-saving technology, was designated GPU

Fee size ATX was built on a set of system logic Intel P45/ICH10. It is designed for Intel Core 2 processors with FSB frequency up to 1600 MHz. The capacity expansion are represented by the three slots PCI, two PCI Express x1 slots and one slot PCI Express Gen2 x16. DDR2 DIMM memory modules installed in two slots (the maximum total amount equal to 8 GB). Two more slots designated for modules DDR3 DIMM (total volume of 4 GB). In the equipment fee also includes six SATA ports and six audio subsystem HD Audio.

This motherboard is almost entirely follows the model, announced last fall and already had time to become a topic of our article. Apparent differences relate only to heat pipes in the cooling system – in TPOWER X58A they do not exist. In addition, comparing specifications shows that the board has lost one network adapter and the controller’s FireWire. 

Fee size ATX with a processor socket Socket 1366 is executed on a set of system logic Intel X58 + ICH10R. It supports three-memory 24 GB maximum (six slots). Potential expansion of the system provides three slots PCI-Express 2.0 x16 support ATI CrossFireX and NVIDIA SLI; single slot PCI-Express x1 slot and two PCI. In addition, the board has Gigabit Ethernet adapter, and audio subsystem vosmikanalnaya HD Audio. 

In addition to the impressive facilities, TPOWER X58A has a strong power subsystem built on a «12 +2 phase» (12-phase power supplied to the CPU, 2-phase – in memory). Such a scheme, as alleged, is expanding the capacity of stable operation at high frequencies. It should be noted that we are talking about 12 virtual channels of the converter – details can be read in our review. In addition to enhancing the stability and reliability of contributes to the use of solid-state capacitors in Japan.
