Biostar did not do much to update their UEFI BIOS's visual appearance, yet I was left pretty happy with the options offered, and the ease of navigating through everything. You will not find quite as many options here as there are on more expensive boards, but if you keep in mind that Biostar included an LN2 jumper, most of the options needed to run at even extreme clocks with extreme liquid-nitrogen cooling are here. Screenshots of all the offered options are below. These were taken using the built-in screenshot capability.
