BIOS
For enthusiasts, the options available within the BIOS can make
a board good or great. The ability to manipulate frequencies, voltages,
and fan control settings vary depending on the hardware and the amount of
trust placed in the user's hands by the manufacturer.

"Genie BIOS" menu. Plenty of frequency and voltage options
with good ranges are available.

"Genie BIOS" menu, continued.

|
"PC Health Status." The board's fan control system can be
tweaked through three different on/off temperatures.

The BIOS allows for plenty of voltage and frequency modification
to satisfy overclockers. The CPU voltage can also be decreased by up to 0.800V
and undervolting can be used with Cool'n'Quiet enabled meaning an undervolt
can be applied to both the idle and load voltage. The fan control also looks
promising — there minimum and maximum temperatures can be used to adjust
the fan behavior of three different fans.
