BIOSTAR, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and storage devices today, introduces the new B660/H610 series motherboards designed to run the latest 12th Gen processors from Intel. Leading the charge into 2022, BIOSTAR introduces yet another set of user-oriented motherboards. Keen on showcasing their superior technology and product design, BIOSTAR unveils three of the best mid to entry level motherboards imaginable, designed targeting business and casual users.

Following their predecessor's success, the new B660MX-E, H610MX-E, and the H610MH are the best bang for buck micro-ATX motherboards entering the new year, with stylish design, great features, and brand support catering to the masses. Running on a seamless cohesion with Intel 12th generation processors, packing all the quintessential features and connectivity options, these motherboards are an excellent choice for HTPC builds and business-oriented systems.





All three motherboards come with the capability of installing 2 DIMMs of DDR4 RAMs. The H610MX-E and the H610MH supports boost RAM clock speeds up to 3200 meanwhile B660MX-E powered by Intel's B660 chipset has the potential to stably overclock up to 4000 MHz with a maximum RAM capacity of 64 Gb.

The B660MX-E and the H610MX-E motherboards come with native PCI-E M.2 (E Key) support and a built-in WiFi antenna port. Additionally, both motherboards come with a DVI output port for extra display output capability.

Furthermore, all three motherboards come with a top-tier 10 phase power design proprietary to BIOSTAR motherboards. Intel I219V LAN, ALC897 Audio Chipset, and HDMI 2K4K port are highly notable features providing an excellent base ground for users to build their HTPC systems to stream highly immersive media content at their home.

Rock-solid performance, great pricing, and globally renowned product support make the new B660MX-E, H610MX-E, and H610MH motherboards the first choice for entry-level motherboards for users that want to extract the most out of their money.

That's some really lazy motherboard design. Like 10 power stages, which is quite good, but then the three boards are completely identical with the same ultra-basic specs of 1 PCIE 3.0 M.2 slot, they just switched out the D-SUB for a D-SUB-cum-DVI and added a wifi slot on the end and called it a second model, and then switched out the H610 for a B660 and that was done.

Like, they couldn't even be bothered to add a second fan header to the B660 version.

For low-end budget boards, you're not going to get enthusiastic motherboard designs. LOL

I'm not talking about enthusiast(ic) designs, just like adding a couple of fan headers or something would differentiate the products

I believe it is because these are like budget of budget motherboards. I still recall when other mobo makers have moved to use black / dark brown PCBs, Biostar is the only one that was still happily churning out green PCB retail motherboards. It goes to show they don't really care whether it is looks or specs, as long as they get to a certain cost.

Boy their marketing division sure is earning it's money making these no frills, basic boards, sound ok.

"Running on a seamless cohesion with Intel 12th generation processors, packing all the quintessential features and connectivity options, these motherboards are an excellent choice for HTPC builds and business-oriented systems."

At least they target the right market, basic machines.
