BIOS Overview

The BIOS is a little more appealing than some of the cheaper ASRock boards we've seen recently, with a HD interface and more options in key places, particularly fan control, that make it easier to configure your cooling for example. This is thanks to the fact options such as the ability to switch fan control modes is included in the Fan-Tastic Tuning fan control page, rather than in a separate menu, which makes a lot more sense.

We also like the inclusion of a full RGB control page, which gives excellent control over the board's lighting and RGB headers, largely eliminating the need to install software. The EZ mode page is simple enough and provides direct links to useful sections such as Instant Flash and Fan-Tastic tuning.
