From the main screen, users can access the standard CMOS features. Here, the hard drives and optical drives can be configured and most importantly, the time and date can be set.


The next sub menu contains some more advanced BIOS options. The boot device can be selected and a number of features can be enabled or disabled, such as the full screen Gigabyte logo on start-up.


As the name implies, the Integrated Peripherals page is where the onboard devices can be enabled or disabled. These include the SATA controllers, audio device and USB controllers.


The power management setup page is where users can configure how the PC can be turned on or off. Those wishing for their computer to go into S3 state rather than fully shut down can set the option here.


The PC Health screen allows users to monitor key voltages, voltage fluctuations on the power supply, temperatures and fan speeds. If required, it is possible to enable the warning systems which alert users of high temperatures or fan failure. The voltage readings are software based so shouldn't be relied on for accurate measurements.


Finally, all the settings configured can be saved under 8 CMOS profiles. Overclockers will no doubt find it useful to save stable settings from which they can work from. To access the screen, simply press F11 and each individual profile can be named.
