Biostar TPower I55 P55 Motherboard Review
X-bit Labs have reviewed the Biostar TPower I55, an Intel P55-based motherboard that supports the new Core i5 & i7 LGA1156 processors.
Here's what they had to say:
"Despite everything Biostar TPower I55 mainboard makes a very good overall impression. I didn’t like its enormous “golden” box, but you can always put it away and it is definitely not the reason to lower the total score for this product. Biostar has a lot of issues with their brand name software, and even though “T-Overclocker” tool does have some potential, it hasn’t been yet implemented properly. However, no one can make you use these utilities, there are a lot of suitable alternatives available these days. However, the board has very good design if we disregard a few insignificant drawbacks and an overcomplicated cooling system. As for the BIOS functionality, they seem to be quite common and familiar, but the fact their remarkable combination is something truly unique. Yes, there is a serious issue with the “CPU Load Line” parameter, but in reality it is none other but a silly mistake. The actual function works perfectly fine and fixing it shouldn’t take much time."
This is a decent motherboard, but frankly it doesn't appear to be quite as polished as the current P55 offerings from ASUS and Gigabyte.
