The BIOS is easy to navigate if you know what your looking for

The truth is that the main BIOS was STILL CORRUPT and you were using the BACKUP BIOS the ENTIRE TIME since you

Be aware that this board ships with a defective BIOS which causes regular blue screens when used with the Raven Ridge APUs

However, I admit their BIOS is always difficult to understand majority of the time

However, I feel the BIOS screen like outdated

The BIOS is corrupted again

is the BIOS is atrocious to maneuver around.

Bios is nice and simple and easy to use for an amateur like me.

(Though, in their defense, this is now an industry wide problem so ugly BIOS interfaces seem to be the norm.)Speaking of the BIOS, it is designed in such a way that you have to just click around to find stuff

Gigabyte, between your marketing department lying about VRM phase counts, your BIOS dev team not being able to decide on a cohesive interface and your engineering team not being able to produce a product that doesn't COMPLETELY TRASH THE BIOS WITHOUT USER INTERVENTION, you're going down a road that ends with your brand being associated with literal garbage

When I gazed upon them for the first time, I got this horrible sinking feeling that, considering how nearly absent they are in actually helping beyond copying advice from other threads which typically originates from CUSTOMERS and not TECHNICIANS, that I'd probably just be better off waiting awhile and seeing if a software updating solution would come about over the coming months instead of bothering to even try to RMA directly, considering the 2 most important factors for me right now:1; I don't have a backup system besides my laptop, which is NOT a gaming laptop, so I don't want to wait on a 3 week turnaround for what, in all reality, will probably be a replacement with another board that may even still have the potential to corrupt the main BIOS and leave me stuck without a gaming PC for that entire period all over again if I had to RMA a second

and I can only imagine that if the MAIN BIOS got corrupted then the BACKUP BIOS probably can, and will, too

The Bios looks like something out of the 1990's

this makes it incredibly easy for an overclocker like myself to clear the BIOS without having to dig for a jumper-Dual PCIe x4 M.2 slots-REAL power

Build quality is questionable at best and the BIOS is absolute hot garbage

September 10th, 2018--This garbage WILL corrupt the main BIOS within 3 months of ANY SORT OF

although their App Center is horrid (like, rewrite it all horrid, GUIs are just bad), my RAM clocked at 3000mhz with literally NO work other than enabling the XMP in BIOS, the BIOS has a very wide variety of options, the USB ports are fast, USB-C is more than welcome, audio is great, WIFI seems very good so far as does Bluetooth

Really like how it looks and the BIOS are easy to navigate and to change the colors on the mobo

The Bios is garbage, period

I waited about 2 months after I started having the corrupted main BIOS issue before even posting my review

I suppose the BIOS could be a bit better, but everything I need is present- it just might be in a different location than I'm used to

I figured that hey, my Amazon return window had expired before my BIOS decided to corrupt itself upon a simple reboot, why even bother until I see how many more people complain

BIOS is clunky and disorganized, not to mention very outdated in appearance3

it's JUST a problem with the OLD firmware on the original boards, then I want this board replaced, in a timely manner, with one that has a NOT SUICIDAL BIOS REVISION on BOTH BIOS ROM CHIPS

I bought this to replace a more expensive ASUS M/B which failed
