Biostar Racing X570GT

[Black Haru]

X570 has been the most comprehensive launch in recent AMD history, with dozens of motherboards available. From E-ATX to Mini-ITX, there are many options for every form factor, except Micro ATX, for which only two boards exist. Today I'm looking at one of them, the Biostar Racing X570GT!

Wow, something that doesnt get an award from TPU must be really bad
But seriously, what were they thinking with tat VRM and feature set at 160$? Either get an older board, B550 soon or spend a little more on a much better X570 board.

A budget oriented board with a high end chipset. This one is a straight ripoff. Better off with a more complete B450 board.

Could they not spend 5 more cents for some kind of VRM sink?

I would pay no more than $40 for a board of this craptitude.

If x570 is the top tier boards, they should at leaat have ALC 1150 or better, not this 887 rubbish that you find on A320 boards.

Thanks for the honest review. Dave always gave BIOSTAR boards a recommendation, even when they looked sketchy with weak vrms and features.

That's the problem - there are almost no good mATX boards on B450/X470/X570 - each and every one of them lacks either wi-fi, proper VRM cooling etc... Compare that to mATX MBs based on intel's Z390 - You have so much more to choose from.

I still cannot understand why mATX didn't become mainstream - we like to shrink everything around us, yet still keep those huge ass ATX/eATX boards with all their additional PCIe slots that barely anybody uses at all. It's not like 15-20 years ago, when You needed a separate sound card, TV card and whatever else there was... Now most of the people just have a GPU and that's all and for that even ITX is more than enough. And for those enthusiasts, that also have eg. a sound card, mATX also covers their needs.

Lately there has been a lot of noise in the web around MATX boards popularity with AM4 and i hope that on B550 we could get a few solid choices. I really hope so because i fully agree that the absolute most people today have no use the an ATX board.

Yeah I tend to like MATX form factor compact, but not so compact that it's overkill like ITX and will have to make clear sacrifices. I don't tend to feel like I'm missing much overall between MATX and ATX. Another aspect of MATX is it often has wifi and better LAN NIC's built in than many ATX boards to offset the fact it has less physical slots.

Do they actually conduct any usability testing on these?
