Finished Looks


The completed build with the Biostar Z270GT4 looks pretty darn good to me, with the board's aesthetic ready to match nearly anything you might want to install in it. There are some LEDs here to light up the insides of your case too.


The MOSFET cooler has LEDs built into it as well, but these are very mild compared to the other LEDs present on the Biostar Z270GT4, which aren't overly bright to begin with. The dual digit POST display remains lit, as does an LED to indicate which BIOS is in use.


The M.2 slot is above the top PCIe slot, squished between the first PCIe slot and the board's socket. I actually like this location as it will lead to decent airflow across an installed NVME drive, like my Samsung 950 PRO. I also captured a shot of the included fan while the system was on so you could see that too. Since you plug the fan's LEDs into the board, they are also controlled by the board, so the fan will match whatever color you chose for the MOSFET cooler's LEDs, and along the board's bottom left edge, and since these are controlled from within the BIOS, you can easily and quickly customize the look of your PC to match whatever you like, fan LEDs included.
