Bios Layout
The bios is pretty much a standard Award bios, with the addition of the first menu “MIT” or “Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker”
This section is very intuitive and very easy to use for the overclocking of pretty much every component of the system. I found this area very easy to use, and very easy to learn compared to many boards out there.
The bios offers full ability to overclock the system, and also offers the CIA which is basically a small safe overclock the board will do for you automatically without having to be too deep into settings (definitely a major plus for any novice overclocker)
I did find that there were a few settings that seemed odd. For instance the QPI link speed slow mode was extremely too slow whereas the slowest realistic speed can be a bit too high at certain high Bclk situations.
Also under advanced clock controls you have your drive settings along with skews, and the pci-e freq and the CIA feature I mentioned earlier
The memory timings are well laid out and very nice to be able to setup each channel individually.
Voltages are well laid out as well, but I have found that this board does very well with auto voltages especially fro moderate or 24/7 overclocks.
