Biostar launches x470gta motherboard for amd ryzen 3000

Biostar launches a new motherboard that supports the latest Ryzen 3000 CPUs. However, it does not use the latest X570 chipset. The Biostar X470GTA uses the chipset of the previous generation AMD X470.

Obviously, users can also use a second or first generation Ryzen with it. However, it is good to know that this is ready for the third generation Ryzen as soon as we get it out of the box.

What are the limitations of a Ryzen 3000 + X470 chipset combination?

Obviously, there are some caveats when using a Ryzen 3000 CPU on an X470 motherboard. This includes the absence of PCIe 4.0. Which wouldn't be a big loss, unless we need as much speed as possible with an SSD that can take advantage of that extra bandwidth.

Another limitation with this particular motherboard is that its maximum TDP CPU support is 105W. So it's not exactly going to be an overclocker favorite. However, that is not exactly the goal of Biostar with this product. The manufacturer wants to offer an inexpensive motherboard that is ready for Ryzen 3000.

In terms of network and audio features, the X470GTA uses Realtek solutions for both a Gigabit LAN RTL 8118AS chip and an ALC892 HD audio chip. As for storage, it comes with the standard 6x SATA3 6Gb / s ports, plus a single M.2 slot. This supports both PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA SSDs.

According to sources, this motherboard is priced at around $ 120. This is a good deal considering that motherboards with the X570 chipset are closer to $ 200 than the $ 120 this product costs.
