After a long break, Biostar returns to us with the latest generation of AMD motherboards. The tested X870E Valkyrie is also the highest model in Biostar’s catalogue, promising the best results and features to demanding users.
Like all gaming series motherboards, the X870E Valkyrie also has a long list of specifications and features. As you expect, we will start with this part of the review, while later, I will tell you more about the motherboard’s performance.
I want to thank BIOSTAR for providing the review sample. This is a snippet from what BIOSTAR has to say about themselves on their website:
BIOSTAR has enriched its competence in the design and manufacture of products such as add-on cards, multi-media and system products to develop the market and meet the demands of customers for more integrated solutions. In order to expand its capacity to meet customer demand globally, BIOSTAR was the first to establish a manufacturing facility in China in 1990. In 1998, its sales revenues exceeded US$130 million and it ranked 227th among the top 1000 enterprises in Taiwan. Furthermore,BIOSTAR obtained an ISO 9001 certification in 1999 and became a publicly listed company in the same year. BIOSTAR’s future has limitless possibilities.
