The BIOS that ASUS has provided the ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO 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 really must say that I am quite impressed. Below are 52 screenshots of all the BIOS options, and I actually have a couple more pictures. Yes, 52 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. However, some of those voltage options are somewhat limited, but not in a way that will affect your overclocking. That said, your approach to overclocking will definitely differ to that of other boards with the ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO--even to some of ASUS's own boards.
