BIOSTAR Racing B460GTA Review
Audio Quality »Finished Looks
The BIOSTAR Racing B460GTA features a neutral gray aesthetic that will be very easy for users to match with other hardware.
The RGB on the BIOSTAR Racing B460GTA is limited to a single zone under the rear I/O cover. Diffusion is excellent, but brightness could use a boost.

G.SKILL generously provided their excellent Trident Z Neo kit. Along with the new hardware, I will be implementing a new testing standard. Moving forward, I will be testing new platforms with XMP enabled.
Note: Intel has limited B460 boards to either 2666 or 2933 MHz depending on the installed CPU. I still chose to enable the XMP profile on my Neo kit with no manual tuning. The BIOSTAR Racing B460GTA did pick some weird timings, but I had no stability issues during my testing.
