The BIOS ASUS has provided the ASUS MAXIMUS VI EXTREME with has got to be one of the largest, most functional BIOSes I have ever encountered. ASUS really has upped their game with the Z87 ROG series of products, and I definitely am impressed. Below are sixty-six screenshots of all the BIOS options, and I actually have a couple more pictures. Yes, sixty-six screenshots. There are quite a few new things here, like a tool for a "Secure Erase" of your SSDs, which restores them to their original performance, a page you can drop some common BIOS options to for quick setting changes while overclocking, and a huge number of voltage and timing options to tweak your system to your heart's content. A full compliment of memory timing profiles for a ton of different sticks, voltage options I am unfamiliar with, and a host of other things most users will never have any need for are all included in case you might find them useful. ASUS has offered a plethora of options on their EXTREME boards for some time, so having them offer even more here than on past boards was pretty impressive to me.
