BIOSTAR Racing B550GTQ Review
Audio Quality »Finished Looks
The BIOSTAR Racing B550GTQ features a neutral gray aesthetic that will be very easy for users to match with other hardware.
The RGB on the BIOSTAR Racing B550GTQ is limited to a single zone under the rear I/O cover. Diffusion is excellent, but brightness could use a boost.
