Boasting 100% solid capacitors, it integrates Intel RST for fast system boot and application load time, and Intel SBA, which delivers business-centric security protection, such as after-hours virus scans and data backup, and blocks recognition of unwanted USB drives.
For entertainment, the TB85 comes with support for Direct3D 11.1, HDMI, Blu-ray audio DRM, and provides the higher audio output of 24bit/192KHz rather than the 16bit/48KHz from typical motherboards. Windows-8 ready, the board also features proprietary Biostar technologies like BIO-Remote2, BIOS Online Update, as well as Charger Booster function.
