Iron Bar Protection
BIOSTAR’s exclusive Iron Bar Protection can reinforce PCI-E x16 slots to handle heavier graphics cards, prevent bending, and extend longevity of the slot, making the new-gen BIOSTAR motherboards much more robust.

Protection
ESD Protection
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) is the major factor to destroy the PC by electrical overstress (EOS) condition. ESD occurred by PC users when touch any devices connect to a PC, which may result in damage to the motherboard or parts. ESD protection is
designed to protect the motherboard and equipment from damage by EOS.

OC / OV / OH Protection
OC / OV / OH Protection design detects overvoltage conditions and prevents voltage surges from spreading in real time. It also actively cuts off the overvoltage supply to protect your system.
