Hardware bundle

The bundle for the TForce 550 board is very sparse in terms of hardware. Upon opening the box you are greeted with the sight of Biostar's trademark Black Bag which is a Nylon bag that holds all the components of the motherboard bundle. A single SATA cable and Power cable is included, allowing the user to get started with their new motherboard. I would have preferred Biostar to have included at least two SATA cables, to allow the user to RAID two drives, but this is a low-cost board and not all the amenities can be included.

Fan Conditioner

Hardware Monitor

Live BIOS Update

WinFlash

The Driver CD contains the drivers with an easy to use interface. The CD Autorun scans the system and determines what drivers you need. Installing the drivers is a simple matter of clicking each entry. The Utilities menu on the Driver CD has include the T-Series Overclocking Utility, Hardware Doctor, a 90-day trial anti-virus software, Fan Conditioner, the system fan monitoring utility, LiveUpdate, for updating the BIOS from the Internet and WinFlash, the Windows BIOS Flash utility.
