BIOS Walkthrough

The BIOS of the ECS Z170-CLAYMORE boots up to a fairly useful graphical interface that will do most of the things you'll need all in one screen, which is common to many boards these days. You can hit a key and get to a more traditional interface too, although some of the functions I found on other boards didn't make an appearance.


I found an exact default configuration by just booting the ECS Z170-CLAYMORE up after flashing to the most recent BIOS, which wasn't the case with the BIOS it shipped to me with. You'll note the pack of BCLK options. Voltage options are alright, driven by simple plus or minus offsets.

There was also no screenshot capability, so I didn't capture all the options provided, which is something I tend to do. That's a huge oversight in my eyes.
