I was mistaken to believe that it was all this section could offer. However, after studying the manual for this utility I discovered that it is not enough to simply roll the mouse over the icons: you do need to click on them, too. By clicking on the sword, we can set the acceptable voltage intervals manually:

By clicking on the fan you can select the rotation speed adjustment mode.

If you get back to the AEGIS PANEL startup window and click on the sword, you can access the section where you can overclock your system.

The third icon with some armor on it serves to control the panel installed into the 5-inch chassis bay. It is an optional panel that wasn’t bundled with our mainboard sample, so we are not going to proceed with this section functionality at this time.

The next section of AEGIS PANEL also uses a curved sword icon. At first I couldn’t figure out what this section is designed for, “Save” and “Store” tabs have confusingly similar meanings.

And again I turned to the manual for help. It turned out that the “Save” tab offers us to choose one of the previously saved settings profiles to save it on an external storage device. “Store” tab on the contrary will help you move the profile save on your drive back into the BIOS. This way you can exchange profiles with your friends and keep reserve profile copies.

The last icon in the startup AEGIS PANEL window with an axe on it will open a page with one single setting that will enable utility launch on system boot-up.

Overall, despite radical change of the interface and slightly expanded functionality in the second version of Foxconn AEGIS PANEL, it still doesn’t seem very convenient to work with. Too many extra actions, half-empty large windows, non-obvious unintuitive features that you can only figure out after consulting the manual – all this made me uninstall the utility soon after my first encounter. As a small excuse, I could say that AEGIS PANEL is not the only utility like that today. Almost all mainboards’ proprietary utilities are created “on leftovers”. There are a lot of good mainboards out there, but barely any good brand name tools and programs.
