Generally speaking, mainboards for enthusiasts are not usually based on chipsets that allow using an integrated graphics core. A user who is satisfied with an integrated GPU is not supposed to require enhanced functionality. However, the Intel Z68 Express is the most functional of all chipsets for LGA1155 processors, so it is viewed as an exception by mainboard makers. Every Z68-based mainboard we've tested so far featured a complex cooling system, a number of extra controllers, and a lot of additional capabilities, technologies and functions. Biostar follows its own approach to constructing mainboards, though. Building on the fact that the Intel Z68 Express is itself functional enough, the company has added just a minimum of other chips to come up with the Biostar TZ68K+ mainboard we’re going to take a look at in this review.
