ASRock has had pretty extensive BIOSes in quite a few products I didn't expect to see such attention to detail with, which proves that they are capable of providing everything you need when it comes to really pushing your system. The provided options are so extensive that it is easy to get lost in what settings are available to you. Even so, that's only due to the sheer volume of options rather than how they are laid out, since everything is where you would expect it to be. There are quite a few screenshots below, more than you would usually see from ASRock, so that alone should give you an idea of how much is here. There are a whole bunch of memory profiles for those like me who like to overclock memory. Profiles for CPU overclocking and everything else you would expect to find in a high-level overclocking board have also been included.
