History

The company was founded in 1986, manufacturing XT form factor mainboards and in later years add-on cards. In 1999 Biostar was listed on the

ISO 9001 standard within the same year.[4][5] Biostar has shifted from the SI/OEM market to the channel market with the portion of branded products closer to 100 percent.[6]

On 1 August 2004, having already had a successful collaboration of Nvidia nForce based motherboards, Biostar announced it was to become a first tier partner with Nvidia of graphics solutions.[7]

Biostar was the first manufacturer to launch a

AM2+ AMD Phenom processors.[9]

Biostar was awarded “Top 20 Taiwan Global Brand” in 2008[10] conducted by Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) with an estimate brand value of US$46 million.[11] Only three companies had a chance to crack the Top 20 list for the first time – and Biostar was among them.[12]

Biostar was also the first manufacturer in the world to launch a motherboard readily available with integrated

USB 3.1 in February 2015, the Gaming Z97X, which is based on Intel's Z97 “Wildcat Point” chipset.[13][14]

Biostar has the distinction of being the first to allow end-users to modify voltages and frequencies of the video card's

GPU and memory to boost performance to extreme limits (overclocking).[15] Those cards are either called "V-Ranger" or "V-Series".[5]

Their mainboards, notably the "T-Power" and "T-Series", have been widely reviewed to be highly overclockable[16] achieving world record FSB overclocks.[17]
