ASRock's ASRock Z87 Extreme6/ac BIOS is fairly standard compared to what I've seen from them recently. Finding what you need by navigating through its provided options is pretty easy, but a new design might have been a nice addition. I haven't taken many screenshots because there aren't a ton of pages full of options like with other products I have reviewed recently. I did find most of what I needed easily and noticed a heading that mentioned a "UEFI Guide", but clicking on this option made nothing happen. They may have forgotten to include it or something. This BIOS also needs some stability and compatibility improvements, but more on that in a bit.
