BIOS Walkthrough

Like previous boards before it, the Gigabyte Z77N-WiFi gets Gigabyte's new UEFI BIOS, which I've covered several times. The layout is the same as before. It includes all the basic options, and even the 3D preview has been carried over from another board, and, no, it doesn't match the Z77N-WiFi properly, since it displays an mATX board instead an mITX board. Going from tab to tab, I actually couldn't find much about the BIOS itself that I have not mentioned before, other than its slightly better optimized sub-menus.


I have to commend Gigabyte for doing a good job of pushing all the necessary options to the forefront. I had no issues at all with this BIOS. In fact, most uEFI BIOSes are pretty good in that regard. Voltages, clocks, and memory settings all get their own sections, which makes finding the option you need for clocking straight forward. There are a ton of options here, including individual settings for different VRM sections.


Even its monitoring and fan options are diverse, although the fan settings are grouped into one section for the CPU fan header and another two sections for all other fan headers.


The BIOS even has overclocking-specific options like the "legacy Benchmark Enhancement" option shown in the second image above. I was very glad to find these options, because this board isn't 100% geared towards overclocking. These options are, if you'd like to squeeze a little bit more out of the board, there for you to capitalize on.


All the onboard stuff for external devices is part of the same layout, making navigation pretty straight forward. I really like Gigabyte's uEFI in its current state.
