BIOSTAR TPower I55 Ver. 5.x Pro Reviews

hardocp‘s review Edit Like Unlike

BIOSTAR has built another very good no-frills enthusiast motherboard. Sadly though, it just seems to be overpriced in today’s market. Coming in at around $190 for no frills, when you can get the likes of a MSI GD-65 for $30 less with more features, the BIOSTAR just does not make sense. Don’t get me wrong, it was a great overclocker, but it was a struggle to get it there. If you are maybe one of those folks looking for a new motherboard with Pentium 4 "features," it might be exactly what you are looking for.

If you are considering one of the top-end P55 boards from ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI or EVGA; we think you should take a hard look at the TPower i55 before you spend more money elsewhere. Other than the fan header count, it does not appear to give up anything to more expensive boards when faced with the rigors of daily use or when overclocking on air or water. Against mid-range boards, the BIOSTAR appears to be a little better suited for pushing hard by virtue of its over engineered power rails (something the lower priced boards tend to skimp on) and component quality. To sum it up, the TPower i55 is not quite perfect, but it’s close enough for most. Call us impressed.

Although in some cases its performance may be a little lower than that of similar solutions, but it will consume way less power. Moreover, it will be a perfect fit for CPU overclocking too, as in this case it is both: pretty fast and economical. Overall, Biostar TPower I55 is a good mainboard!
