Bios
The BIOS of the A9DA-S is a fairly familiar AMI layout. The main page includes access to all the security and set up options. The only difference compared to the majority I've worked with is the Fox Central Control Unit (FCCU).

From the FCCU you get a variety of BIOS protection options and tweaking controls.

The 'Intelligent Stepping' section allows changes to system clockspeeds and multipliers. The ability to limit some settings while changing others is a nice feature since you can lock out certain parts of the system to make sure they don't push towards instability during an overclock session.

The 'Voltage Options' section quite obviously concerns system voltage control. Here you can over and undervolt the memory, CPU and chipset to varying degrees. I did have one issue with this section which is explained in the 'Overclocking' section of the review which comes next.

All in all the familiarity of the BIOS made it easy to navigate and use and with the exception of the 'Voltage Options' section was a pleasure to work with.
