In the “Hardware Health” section, you are able to configure your fans on a per-header basis. One area where EVGA’s BIOS excels is with the fan control. Most settings will appeal to overclockers only, but to see such incredible control on a ~$200 board is fantastic, even if most people will never touch even 5% of what’s available here. If you don’t, it can be ignored.Ĭompared to any of the P55 boards I’ve taken a look at recently, and possibly compared to any board I’ve ever looked at, the BIOS on the P55 FTW is exhaustive with its options. The control is there for those who want it. But that being the case, it’s not a bad thing. More than ever, the sheer amount of control offered to end-users is incredible, and in the case for most users, it’s total overkill. Overclocking has become an obvious focus for a lot of motherboard vendors over the past few years, and it’s easily reflected by simply taking a look at the BIOS. Interestingly, even though EVGA has an obvious like for overclocking, the respective menu is found at the absolute end of the list. I’ve come to prefer alternate styles, such as the one found on ASUS’ boards, as I find them less clunky (top-mounted menu, as opposed to this), but this still gets the job done. Like many other motherboard vendors, EVGA uses a completely recognizable AMI BIOS.
