BIOSTAR Unveils HPACT, A New Way of Identifying Capability of its Motherboards

[btarunr]

BIOSTAR at its Computex 2023 booth announced HPACT (acronym for High-level, Performance, Ability, Capacity, and Time). It is essentially a self-imposed standard for product quality and capabilities of its motherboards. It sets minimums for the company's motherboard component choices, durability, and performance. A possible analog for HPACT would be "Ultra Durable" by GIGABYTE, and the way the company set tiers for it. If a motherboard meets all five of the design goals in that acromym, it will be labelled as "HPACT," and depending on the model, the acronym is shortened.

The most entry-level of BIOSTAR's motherboards will meet at least the "ACT" acronym (Ability, Capacity, and Time), the mid-range ones "PACT," and the high-end ones HPACT. BIOSTAR showed us examples of its existing products that already meet HPACT. These include the B760A-SILVER, and B760T-SILVER. Among the PACT-rated motherboards are B550MX-E PRO, B760MZ-E PRO, and A620MP-E PRO. Entry-level ACT-rated motherboards include the likes of B760NH-E, H610MH D5, and H610-MT. We hope this ratings system can bring back the glory days of truly enthusiast-class BIOSTAR motherboards such as the T-Power I55.

They launched around 20 new boards at Computex... All midrange and lower tier.

Man, I fried a couple of Biostar boards back in the early c2d/q days (yep, voltmods kill). Broke a few fsb records with one of their boards and a q6700 iirc. For a couple days at least hehe. They always had solid stuff for great prices.
I wouldn't mind giving them a try again.
