BIOS Walkthrough

The BIOS of the ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 GAMING K6+ boots up to a fairly useful graphical interface that will do most of the things you'll need all in one screen, while those users looking for more detailed options can press a key or two to switch into advanced mode, which opens up a ton of manipulable settings. In fact, there might be too many options.


As you might have expect if you've owned an ASRock product in the past, the advanced pages come in quite traditional formatting, with a nice color-matched theme. What's not in tradition with ASRock's past iterations are the 56 screenshots you'll find below, in which you'll find obscure labels and listings that had even me hesitate. It's great to see such an expansive list of options here if that's what you are after, but I don't think all this belongs in a gaming-oriented motherboard. You'll need some lessons in microprocessor design before delving into it all.
