Comparing the two diagrams, come to find different things. At first glance, it looks like there is no difference between the models on the stickers. How can you tell only one thing at a glance? Return to the evaluation itself, take you to see what role this ET3 in the end ~
My name is ET3! Not GT3:
Biostar B150ET3
The mainboard is a special feature of the black-gray Biostar Racing series, with a checkered flag in the middle. Although the "30" on the south bridge heat sink in the lower right corner still feels like a 30th anniversary edition, the middle B150ET3 still takes us. Pull it back and tell you - this item is B150ET3.

PCIe expansion slot
The PCIe expansion slot is also standard on the B150, including long PCIe 3.0x16+x8 slots, and two short PCIe X1 slots, sufficient for most users.
SATA interface
This Biostar B150ET3 although the B150 standard SATAE interface canceled out, but still there are six SATA 3.0 interface, but also enough, anyway, most people use up.
M.2 SSD interface
In addition to the six SATA interfaces, the motherboard also provides a full-size 22110 M.2 SSD interface, which is now quite practical for M.2 SSD.
Motherboard I/O interface
The mainboard provides PS/2 keyboard and mouse interface × 2, DVI + HDMI display output interface, 4 × USB 3.0 interface, 2 × USB 2.0 interface, RJ-45 network interface and audio interface. The two PS/2 interfaces are actually very practical and can help you solve the minor problem of incompatibility between the Win7 and B150 chipset USB interfaces. Although it seems to be relatively small, these are enough for everyday use.
Biostar B150ET3 this motherboard can now be purchased on the e-commerce platform, Taobao found a bit, about several of the offer are below 500 yuan, the price of B150 is relatively close to the people. Seeing here, we must be curious about how powerful this ET3 is? Let's take a look at the materials used for the work and its strength.
â— dismantling: work materials were born in the anniversary edition
CPU power supply module
Biostar B150ET3 and GT3, the same 7-phase power supply, single-sided inductor covers the heat sink, the power supply module with LED particles near, can be seen with a light effect, 7-phase power supply is sufficient on the B150.
DDR4 memory slot
The memory slot is still standard on the B150. It provides four DDR4 memory slots and supports dual channel mode.
Audio module
Biostar's flagship HIFI audio also appears on this motherboard. The audio chip is covered with an electromagnetic shielding cover to ensure that the audio signal is not interfered. There are some LED lights around. Whether HIFI audio or RGB lighting effects can be installed by RACING software adjust.
Overload protection
A “Super LAN Overload Protection†chip was added to the motherboard. This protection chip can provide better anti-static protection for the LAN, enhance electrical stability and prevent lightning damage caused by lightning strikes.
RGB light bar slot
Biostar B150ET3 motherboard is equipped with a dedicated slot RGB light bar, if you really want to play a light, may wish to buy a RGB light bar plugged in, a twinkling sparkling Jingjing, light pollution every day.
Dual BIOS design
This motherboard is also equipped with dual BIOS, through the BIOS_SWITCH button can be a random key to switch the ROM BIOS storage, the corresponding red light will also light up, suggesting that the ROM is working now, dual backup BIOS still gives people a sense of security of.
Racing light effect
There are Biostar RACING logo on the motherboard, with a series of lights on the motherboard, there is a lamp with a slot, this pile of light pollution configuration can be arbitrarily adjusted by RACING software, in this price can play a light pollution, or more unexpected .
The BIOS is still the same, fever is progressing:
â— Evaluation platform and evaluation method introduction:
3DMark Time Spy
The evaluation can be divided into three parts, the first part is the BIOS trial, the second part is the enhanced version of the performance test, and finally the heat test.
Test platform screenshot
In order to test whether the motherboard can achieve the maximum performance of the hardware, the selected hardware is the flagship Intel i7-6700K, GTX1070 and 8GBx2 dual-channel memory. We will join the Biostar B150GT3 motherboard in this set of hardware test results for comparison.
â—RACING style graphical BIOS:
Main interface
The standard features are not much different from the previous version of Biostar, but the appearance is more beautiful.
advanced settings
Most important feature settings can be implemented in advanced settings.
Chipset function
Startup settings
Start settings, which is also one of the most common settings, you can set the boot disk's order and UEFI settings.
Security Settings
Overclock related settings
Since the B150 chipset cannot be overclocked, this part of the function is set for the Z170.
Save Settings
CPU function
Here you can choose to switch the special features of the CPU, such as Hyper-Threading Technology.

Biostar made a fortune in Taiwan, and its motherboard work is still worthy of recognition. In this motherboard competition, Biostar has been able to feel the impact of the Asus Gigabyte momentum, but the current number of products, publicity is still more backward, refueling La.
â— benchmark performance test:
In order to facilitate users to understand the performance of this motherboard, we have joined the Biostar B150GT3 motherboard as a reference comparison. Due to the test accuracy, we generally regard the gap within 3% as an error.
In benchmark performance tests, the Biostar B150ET3 and its own B150GT3 scored similar results. It can be seen that it has good support for the hardware, and the performance of the CPU, memory, and graphics card can be well performed, and the level of performance is normal.
Motherboard temperature test:
In the temperature test section, we mainly examined the problems of the CPU power supply of the mainboard. This part of the temperature is the place where the main board generates a large amount of heat, and it is also the key to the stability of the mainboard. We used the Fluke Ti25 thermal imager to test and recorded two data when idle (CPU, video card is empty) and full load (CPU full, video card is empty).
Idle temperature (left), full load temperature (right)
After our finishing, the motherboard fever comparison as shown below:
At that time, the evaluation room temperature was around 25°C. From the thermal imaging test chart, it can be seen that the idle temperature is 45.6°C. After more than 10 minutes at full load, the temperature rises to 66.4°. This is better than Biostar's own B150GT3. A lot, this temperature has improved a lot, and in general this motherboard can not be equipped with I7-6700K full load operation, for this result is quite satisfactory.
Throughout the evaluation, finally found the difference between GT3 and ET3, that is to replace the ET3 power supply module of the inductor material, so that the full load temperature control is much better than the GT3, that is to say this ET3 is to solve the GT3 fever problem It can be seen from this action of Biostar that they attach great importance to the products of the gaming series. There are problems in time and it is worthwhile for many companies to learn.
