	Log in to remove this sponsored message quote raybies One of the things that REALLY annoys me about BIOS' is that they take forever to load all the devices. My x58 board takes 23 seconds from power on to BIOS password, and then 6 seconds to Windows password. If I could get the BIOS/UEFI loaded faster I'd be happy. So Carl, what's the device recognition speed like??? vs a BIOS? Speed test please. Hey, To do that I would need to have a board which I can flash to a standard BIOS or an UEFI. The ones I have are the ASUS E35M1 which do not have any BIOS implementation. For your X58 board however, you might want to disable the dedicated controllers you don't use via the BIOS. If disabled, they won't have to be initialized. An example would be an extra SATA/IDE controller. Setting your southbridge to RAID mode also adds some delay. If you don't have RAID arrays, set it to AHCI instead.

If you don't have RAID arrays, set it to AHCI instead. I know how to setup my MB, and it doesn't change the fact that BIOS' are slow to initialize and identify system devices. I have 2 video cards + PCI-E audio + RAID0 + Bluray + AHCI HD I've disabled the other RAID card, and USB3. Subjectively speaking... is UEFI faster to initialize and identify system devices? I timed my bootup again... 27 seconds from power on to BIOS PW, then 8 seconds to Win7 x64 Logon. MB: Asus P6X58D P Thanks. For sure the BIOS initialization time really depends on the board. For example, with the ASUS M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3, Neoseeker's standard test platform, if I disable most controllers, by the time the monitor detects the input and comes out of sleep, the computer is already at the Windows booting stage, displaying the logo.

	quote djtu574386wd5 Man how much did they pay you to pump out that brown noser review. I work on computers as a tech 40 hours a week and the asus & asrock and the like, the bios gui are useless garbage. The first ever version of windows ~ first ever apple gui are better, Hell even the first gui xerox pumped out is probably better. The asus eufi bios besides the other problems of possibly trying to block other os from running ~ installing and being a joke for other apps to hack peeks cpu use for no reason , first ever windows gui can run off a 12mgz cpu and one meg of main system ram. Just try and click on something and its a glitch fest, that and options are miss-categorized and lets not forget the broken cHina-shEnGlieh, All your base are belong to us. Its not better its worse and made for people that don’t know how to work a bios and for people like that they shouldn't be in the bios in the first place and don’t even get me started about the bios auto overclock topic or should I say auto suicide option. Normal stile of gpi I can work it 10x faster then a UEFI bios. And yes im all for a face lift to the old stile bios but man a 16 year old with 3 years of computer science in high school could do better and im guessing the EUFI bios on the asus mobo was made my monkeys. It looks like you will have to do with UEFI, as most big manufacturers have now made the switch. I am sincerely sorry for you; I understand your pain of working with something you decided to hate. Personally, I do like the new UEFI from ASUS, for the very reaons explained in the article, and as much as it may surprise you, no incentive is being distributed with review requests. Have you played with the implementations of other manufacturers such as the Gigabyte 3D BIOS? The MSI Click BIOS?

	quote criticalconstructive I am going to buy an A8-3870K this month and need a good mainboard for it. I favourize the Asus F1A75-V Pro. I want to overclock DDR3-RAM from 1866 to 2000-2133 MHz. I will also overclock CPU and GPU, but only some MHz. And therefore 1 information, very important, which I was unable to find in manual or reviews: Does the Asus F1A75-V Pro also support a GPU clock-divider or a separate setting-option for the GPU clock in BIOS? It would be great, if you could answer this question. Hi! Have a look at our A75 motherboard roundup recently published. On the page about overclocking, you will see a screenshot with the GPU divider decreased to 4.5 instead of the stock 6, so yeah the ASUS boards have that setting, and lots more. Along with the reference clock increase, that gave 976MHz. Take a peek at the performance in the following pages, it's quite impressive. Good luck with your build!
