BIOS and Overclocking

The BIOS of the Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 is based on Award code. It has all the features typical of other Gigabyte mainboards that we have already discussed in our reviews, however, there are also a few innovations, which I would like to talk about here.

For instance, many mainboard makers introduced the option for saving the BIOS settings profiles and Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 is no exception. By pressing F1 key you can save one of eight profiles and by pressing F12 – load the one of your choice.

Major features dealing with CPU and memory overclocking are gathered in the MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.) section.

The FSB frequency may vary from 100MHz to 700MHz and it is very convenient that you can simply type in the desired frequency value using the keyboard.
