The BIOSTAR RACING B150 GTN makes building powerful gaming PCs in the mini-ITX form factor more expressive and powerful thanks to the latest 6th-generation Intel Core processors, the RACING B150 GTN enables gamers to have the latest technology powering their systems for the best experience when they play. Next-generation storage via high-speed U.2 enables support for the fastest storage platforms of today to allow super-fast access to data so games load faster so you can get to the action quicker.

Complimenting the graphics performance is BIOSTAR's flagship Hi-Fi audio technology to put you in the most immersive listening experience with your games and multimedia content.

Seeing a U.2 port on a non-high-end motherboard makes me happy. Seeing an mITX board with its M.2 slot in the logical place - the reverse - makes me happier still.

Been using the the Z170GT7 for a while now. It's quite decent. BIOS is clean and organized though most of the changeable options lacks proper description so I had to guess what it does. Biggest bummer about it is that they claimed you can oc a non-k. Their site says so. Emailed them and they said it's possible but on selected non-k only? Didn't now all non-k's are not alike. Looked at every nook and cranny in the bios and no luck still. What's depressing is that I've looked everywhere for info, user discussions etc on the new biostar boards and I couldn't find any. So I'm pretty much left in the dark.

Not bad at all. Looks a lot beefier than my MSI B150i Gaming Pro AC.

you need to have the right BIOS for non-K OC to work.

do you have access to the right bios? :D
I don't think there is one.
Looked up GT7 r 5.0 specs and it does not mention Biostar's HyperOC feature (non-K overclocking).

The only thing I found is this
HyperOC Technology is enabled via BIOS update on BIOSTAR Z170 motherboards.

COMPATIBLE MOTHERBOARDS

GAMING Z170X
GAMING Z170T
