BIOS Walkthrough

The BIOS of the ZOTAC A75-ITX WiFi features a traditional layout and styling, even though it's UEFI-based. The opening page greets us with standard options for language, date and time, but the very next page contains all the voltage and memory settings all in the same space. The third page contains a plethora of system settings, each broken into sub-headings.


All of the menu pages contain everything I wanted to see, with a few other options thrown in for those that have their own needs. There's nothing confusing, or in the wrong place, so navigation is really simple.


ACPI and CPU settings are all here, and the seldom needed CPU information page is hidden within a subheading that really helps keep the clutter of unneeded uptions down.


Drive and IDE options are here as well with the rest of the system settings and display settings are contained with memory sub-system settings, which makes a lot of sense considering that both work together in any IGP.


It was a little strange to find settings to enable or disable the IGP with the memory settings, and I was left scratching my head on that one.


Everything else is pretty standard as well, with nothing too surprising, but at the same time, there was nothing missing either. Well, except for overclocking options like bus speed settings, which in a way makes sense. If you buy an A8-3870K, multiplier adjustment is there, and does work, and you can change the voltage as well, so it's just a matter of using the right processor if you want an overclock.
