BIOSTAR TP35D3-A7 Deluxe supports full 1333 MHz FSB and has one PCIe x16, three PCIe x1, and two PCI slots. There is also eight channel audio and dual Gigabit Ethernet. The motherboard includes two E-SATA and six USB 2.0 ports, as well as three more USB 2.0 headers to support 6 USB 2.0 ports for front panel.

“The TP35D3-A7 Deluxe is based on a special 8 phase voltage regulator power design then can significantly lower the operation temperatures while reducing input ripple current and output ripple voltage. Besides, the board features 100% solid capacitors on board which provide extreme durability and secure performance of your system. Color coded DIMM slots designate paired dual channel memory. Plenty of Solid capacitors around the high frequency DDR3 DIMMs ensure sufficient and stable power supply even at full loading. Last but not least, there is a SPACE–Pipe onboard, a new silent north bridge cooling device. It uses a heat-pipe to conduct heat from the chipset heatsink to a PWM fin-heatsink collection module. Airflow from the CPU fan then removes the heat collected from the CPU, the chipset, and PWM fin-heatsink, effectively cooling your system with no additional noise. And all of this is based on advanced materials used in the space industry,” the press release says.
