The layout of the TForce 550 is well thought out with only one area of concern. The ATX 12v and the 24-pin ATX power connector are located near the CPU socket and will require thoughtful cable routing in order to avoid restricting airflow to air-cooled CPUs. The DIMM slots are located above the CPU socket, in a favorable spot avoiding any clearance issues. The northbridge is located in the usual spot resting near the PCI-E and PCI slots the chipset cooler is of the low-profile variety and will not cause any issues with larger VGA cards. Biostar chose to use capacitors manufactured by United Chemi-Con (USA, Japan) marked as KZG, by Taiwan Ostor marked RLG, and an unknown manufacturer marked RLP.
