BioStar?

What do the people on the forum think of the brand? I have never purchased a BioStar brand board before and just wanted to know is it worth it.

I've used them a few times in the past and always had a good experience. Reliable.

Very good boards imho. And cheap. Their x370 itx looks great also

Are OCUK going to stock the x370 itx board, if so when are they due in?

OC Don't Stock Biostar . I seen The board for sale in places But not worth the price , Got poor on board sound ,Not many USB's , No WI-FI , Really only worth around £69.99 ,
compering it to Intel side of ITX Motherboards this is a low bear bones Board.

Shame they don't stock Biostar as caseking de stock them, however, you can select English for the language on the site. I have the X370GT7 and it has been very very stable with my R7 1700. I was getting 2933mhz on my memory until I updated to Win 10 Creators but since then won't post above 2666mhz. Hopefully the new agesa update to come will fix these issues. I am not into overclocking now but I do know the GT7 board has very highly rated power phases. Biostar are not the quickest at getting new bioses out but I am impressed by the GT7 for the £179 it cost me.
