Iata ca  cei de la Biostar se tin de cuvant, si, in acelasi timp cu lansarea oficiala a noilor procesoare Intel are loc si ansarea oficiala a noii placi de baza Biostar, socket LGA1366. TPower X58 foloseste  un design al VRM-ului in 12 faze, care, in tandem cu Biostar Green Power Utility, ofera posibilitatea monitorizarii consumului, precum ajustarea acestuia in functie de incarcarea sistemului, oferind astfel un bun echilibru intre capacitatile de overclocking, atunci cand avem nevoie, si economisirea energiei electrice. Placa ofera suport SLI si CrossfireX cu ajutorul celor 3 sloturi PCI-E 2.0 (x16, x8, x4). Feature-urile importante de pe I45 se regasesc si in cazul noului model, astfel incat multora le va parea familiar sistemul de racire, space-pipe design cum il numesc cei de la Biostar si display-ul pentru diagnosticarea placii de baza, numit acum Rapid Debug 3. Asa cum ne-au obisnuit cei de la Biostar, placa prezinta un lay-out aerisit, desi aduce dotari in plus la capitolul conectica. TPower X58 arata foarte promitator si cat de curand vom putea vedea cum se comporta in practica.
