BIOSTAR, a leading brand of motherboards, graphics cards, and storage devices, today announces the new RACING B460GTA and the RACING B460GTQ motherboards designed to run the new Intel 10th Gen Processors.

Stylishly designed in BIOSTAR's signature RACING colors the RACING B460GTA and the RACING B460GTQ motherboards are built for both commercial and casual use. Due to the higher power demand of the latest 10th generation Intel processors, the 400 series motherboards from BIOSTAR have been designed with significant attention towards power efficiency and cooling. Features like Super Hyper PWM that has DCR current sensing architecture offers excellent precision in delivering stable power with 100% fixed voltage to ensure critical components of the motherboards are protected with the maximum performance and reliability.





Both the RACING B460GTA and the RACING B460GTQ motherboards share similar specs and design elements between each other, built for content creators and casual gamers alike, the most noticeable difference between each other is mainly the RACING B460GTA motherboard being an ATX form factor built with few additional ports and connectivity options because of its lager form, while the RACING B460GTQ is a Micro-ATX size motherboard designed for PC builds aiming towards a smaller footprint yet still have a similar high-end performance like its ATX sibling.



Both motherboards are packed with the latest technology and designed to be the best of its kind yet extremely affordable. The stylishly designed Armor Gear enclosure of the motherboard serves multiple purposes while adding an eye-catching aesthetic to the whole build, the Armor Gear design also serves the purpose of dissipating heat generated by the motherboard as well as housing the LED ROCK ZONE RGB lighting which is one of the fan favorites, that enables users to customize the look of their B460 motherboard with a few easy steps using the VIVID LED DJ software.

The RACING B460GTA and the RACING B460GTQ motherboards both support up-to 128 GB of DDR4 RAMs across 4 DIMMs to complement the shiny new Intel processors with additional features like PCIe M.2 (32 Gb/s) and support for Intel's Optane memory allows users to assemble a system more powerful than the avengers.



Both motherboards also come equipped with an extra CPU-Fan header which is called CPU OPT that allows users to connect a liquid cooling system to their PC with ease as well as A.I fan automatic temperature control system which manages the heat dissipation of the PC through dynamic fan speed controlling to keep your computer stable with optimal cooling performance.

High-end build-quality is prominent on both of these motherboards with exceptional attention to detail like the Iron Slot Protection which is exclusive to BIOSTAR, that provides much-needed reinforcement to PCIe x16 slots making it easy to handle heavier graphics cards, prevent bending, and extend the longevity of the slot, or the use of Super Durable Inductors that utilizes the hardware power regulation to guarantee genuine power efficacy and ensure longer component life.

Versatile rear I/O connectivity options such as the addition of a HDMI port, a DisplayPort and a DVI-D port as well as 4 USB 3.2 (Gen 1) ports are present on both motherboards fully packed to support most use cases with safety features like the Super LAN Surge Protection which provides the GbE LAN port with more advanced antistatic protection capabilities by adding an integrated chip to strengthen electrical stability which helps to prevent damage from lightning strikes and electrical surges.



Extremely efficient, reliable, and durable the BIOSTAR RACING B460 series motherboards are built to run like a dream. For people looking to upgrade their system to the latest tech available in the market, BIOSTAR has provided two amazing products with bleeding-edge tech packed into a sleek affordable package.

The fact Intel limits B460 to 2666mhz RAM (i3s and i5s) takes away their value imo. An i5 10400f + b460 with at least 3200mhz suupport would be interesting.

Still think B550 + 3600 is a better proposal because of that.. silly Intel..

To be fair, they are digital-only connectors, so analog signal is gone for good. But that also means that it's a pretty boneheaded move not to use HDMI in that case as it does everything and more for less space.

Then again, has Biostar ever made any innovations in the retail space, ever?

Also, what the hell is this?

support for Intel's Optane memory allows users to assemble a system more powerful than the avengers.

Since there are both DVI and HDMI ports it is not problem.

Actually for 1080p resolution and 60Hz refresh rate there aren't any differences between those interfaces :)

Except that the DVI port is fragile relative to HDMI, and physically huge. I'm pretty sure the latter fact is why Biostar included it - so that the rear IO panel doesn't look quite so bare.
