Socket B LGA-1366 ATX Motherboard

The Biostar TPower X58 is an ATX desktop motherboard built around the Intel X58 Express chipset for Socket B LGA-1366 processors. It supports Core i7 and Core i7 Extreme Edition CPUs and provides six DDR3 memory slots with a maximum capacity of 24GB. The board includes three PCI Express x16 slots, eight SATA interfaces, dual Intel Gigabit LAN and 7.1-channel audio.

Multi-GPU Enthusiast Platform

This board suits enthusiasts building a high-end LGA-1366 system who need triple-slot graphics configurations via CrossFireX or SLI support. It also fits users requiring eight SATA ports for large storage arrays and dual Intel network connections. Builders targeting newer processor sockets or different memory generations should select a current-platform motherboard.

24GB DDR3 Maximum Memory

The decisive specification is the 24GB maximum memory limit across six DDR3 slots supporting 1066 and 800 MHz standards. This capacity ceiling defines the upper bound for memory-intensive workloads on this platform. If your application requires more than 24GB of system memory, this motherboard cannot meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What PCI Express standard does the X58 chipset use, and what speed does it cap at?

The board provides three PCI Express x16 slots driven by the Intel X58 Express chipset, operating at the PCI Express 2.0 data rate of 5 GT/s per lane.

What case and clearance are required to mount this ATX motherboard?

A standard ATX chassis with the ATX mounting-hole pattern and an I/O shield cut-out will accept the board; ensure the CPU cooler does not overhang the six DIMM slots.

How is the board installed, and which step is often missed?

Fit the rear I/O shield first, then lower the board onto the standoffs and secure all ATX screws; the step frequently missed is connecting the 8-pin EPS power cable near the socket before adding the cooler.
