BIOSTAR Launches A Reboot of The H61 Series Motherboards

Sir Alex Ice · Mar 1, 2020

FFS I just shelled 200 or so Euros on making an almost entirely new AMD system. And now this news comes up.

I felt it was about time to replace an old 1155 based one that had a badly broken PCI Express slot for VGA. As I could find only boards made using second hand chipsets recovered from broken systems, I did not feel comfortable buying from Aliexpress.

I could have replaced just the motherboard with this one, if it became available in my country and it would have been a much better cost and less work for me. Not to mention it would probably not have needed to re-activate Windows and Office.

I doubt that any other real* manufacturer has balls to launch a motherboard having a 9 year old chipset. Biostar surprised me by even more than before.

* the Chinese "X79" Frankenstein motherboards are a different thing.. they usually have their chipset grabbed by a random bag.
