Other manufacturers are coming around to this way of thinking, with each setting requiring extensive knowledge and QVL.īy default, ASUS ROG motherboards go into advanced mode, but there is an easy mode to access: Even as a motherboard reviewer and an overclocker, I have no idea what half of this stuff does, but ASUS regularly provide extreme tweakers with memory presets to overclock some of the high end kits: Last Modified (which is also activated when you exit the BIOS) shows all the changes made since the BIOS was first entered, allowing users to dissect any overclock options that were selected.įor the ROG range, ASUS is including a few overclocking presets to help the extreme overclockers:ĪSUS over generations still keep opening up various options in the BIOS for tweakers to go nuts, as shown by pages and pages of options. Quick Note is essentially Notepad in the BIOS, where you can save a message or overclock suggestions for later. On the right of this image we see two further options: Quick Note and Last Modified. This mainly relates to older models or those that use uncommon controllers – all modern Sandforce, LAMD, Samsung and JMicron drives should be covered, and modern drives from major consumer manufacturers in the future are likely to work (with latest BIOS updates of course).Īlongside SSD Secure Erase, ASUS’ new features include a customizable options menu, allowing users to select any option for the BIOS into a ‘my favorites’ menu: The main additions, as we saw with the Maximus VI Impact review, come from the My Favorites list, allowing users to select certain options and create a menu of their own, SSD Secure Erase to pass the ATA Secure Erase command to compatible SSDs, the Last Modified popup that lets overclockers know exactly what has changed between BIOS saves and, for the RIVBE, the black theme to go along with the black edition.ĪSUS would like me to point out that SSD Secure Erase is best used for SSDs that pass ASUS’ quality control list any SSDs not on that list could exhibit non-standard behavior and be rendered unusable by SSD Secure Erase. The jump in the ASUS BIOS from X79 RIVE to X79 RIVBE comes by virtue of the Maximus VI Z87 range of improvements.
