Articles: Mainboards

Pages: [ 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 ]

H/W Monitor page is located in the next sub-section called Chipset Setting together with other pages with pretty familiar names from the traditional BIOS Setup:

Password Setting page allows creating user and administrator passwords. Boot Setting page will help set the order of boot-up devices and other corresponding options.

By the way, there is one new device among the boot-up devices: Built-in UEFI Shell. At first I mistakenly assumed that it is automatic access to the UEFI BIOS that allowed using the built-in applications. However, it turned out that in this case we get an invitation “Shell>” and a blinking cursor indicator like the one in DOS or Command Prompt in Windows. Too bad there is no description of available commands. I could display the list of supported commands using “help”, but failed to figure out how to look through them page by page.

Save & Exit section seems to be pretty clear by the name. Note that you can save user settings in a profile. Unfortunately, you can only create one profile.

ECO section looks very much like MSI GreenPower Center utility, however, in terms of available settings it is closer to GreenPower section from the “traditional” BIOS Setup of MSI P45 Platinum mainboard. We can select the number of active phases in the voltage regulator circuitry of the processor, memory or chipset North Bridge, or let the mainboard do its on its own depending on the current workload.

Utility section includes a few tools: Live Update, Flash BIOS, HDD Backup and Boot Screen.
