Intel LGA 1156 Motherboard 6-Way Roundup - PAGE 8

The Gigabyte motherboards use the Award BIOS which has a very well-known and simple interface. The first screen when entering into the BIOS is the main menu. From this menu you can select from a list of categories, save current settings, load defaults and set a password.

The MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.) is where all the overclocking for the Gigabyte board is done. From this menu you can alter the board's voltage, clock speeds and much more. Even though the Award BIOS allows for some very complicated changes, the interface is still set up in a way that should be accessible to novices and enthusiasts alike.

Standard CMOS allows the user to adjust the stored date and time, as well as view and configure the installed IDE/SATA devices.

The Advanced BIOS features menu allows the user to make changes to the boot devices as well as other settings such as the full screen logo and where to store the back up BIOS file.

The Integrated Peripherals menu gives the user direct access to the add-on components, such as the hard drive and USB features.

The Power Management option is used to make changes to the power options such as how to turn on the PC.

PC Health Status is a page that monitors the temperatures of the motherboard and CPU, as well as the fan rotation of the attached fans.
