The Biostar brand doesn't have a massive presence in the UK, at least not in the enthusiast segment of the market. We consider Asus, ASRock and Gigabyte to be the top three enthusiast brands on the market at the moment but this is something Biostar are looking to change with the release of their new range of motherboards.
Today we are going to look at the top-end motherboard in Biostar's range, the TZ77XE4. It has been designed with enthusiasts in mind and boasts a feature set to rival some of the best boards currently offered by the market leaders. We look forward to seeing how well the TZ77XE4 will overclock and perform in our tests.
We will be using both the Intel Core i7-3770K and i7-2700K for testing today.

Nice to see a different company being reviewed on Kitguru. never actually had one of their boards but this one looks quite good to me.
Wow another Z77 board. Id love to know right now, how many Z77 boards are in the channel. must be at least 40.
Good looking board, but not sure I would buy biostar, have they any UK warranty terms etc? I know ASUS have a good return/replace system via their paretners?
MediaExpresso’s chart says higher scores mean better performance.

I think you might be mistaken. The faster the encoding time, the less time you have to wait.
