Such an intuitive layout! Keeping the EZ mode easy, and leaving the more advanced features off the main page. I also really appreciate how each section that you ran through almost illustrates an order of operations when setting up and getting familiar with a new BIOS. Ill bet it will save a lot of people a lot of headaches!

JJ does a great job or organizing and explaining the features and functions with just the right amount of detail for me to follow along. Extremely well done, thanks for posting this series of videos.

Really clear guide, I learned so much from you. We need more like you for real!

[LarryCarlin]

Clear, useful and timely tutorial as I just bought that same motherboard. Would very much like to see a similar review of the advanced options.

Great video to check out before i install windows and make my pc bootable! thanks for the useful info

[LoveStrangeDr]

Excellent video man! Really helped me learn the bios!

Lets Tip on the video fixed my issue thank you

Update: I bought this board to run Linux. I installed Linux Mint 20.3 (based on Ubuntu 20.04) and using the Linux 5.4 kernel. The onboard WiFi worked fine but NOT Bluetooth. I just updated to Linux Mint 21, newly released, and it DOES SUPPORT the onboard Bluetooth + WiFi. Win 11 also had the drivers for WiFi + BT.

Thank you JJ! I wasn't able to install Windows while Intel Rapid Storage was enabled. Shut it off, and it's purring like a kitten.
Side note, two IT Directors couldn't figure this out. They thought Windows was looking for the driver for my SSD. You may want to consider something to alert people this better.

Great Video!. On my case Activating XMP on an DDR5 6600 MHZ Dominator RAM made the system unusable :/ Blue Screen of Death once after the other... :/ Currently troubleshooting the issue with Corsair.. as the MemTest86 RAM test came all good.

Thank you JJ. Where can I find the advanced video mentioned in the end of this video?

[rahiminx]

Very informative and well explained, thank you

Cloning a ssd to nmve with Marcium when completed does boot order need to be changed in bios as primary boot device ? Great vid simple and easy to understand going from an lga 775 to this was a total shock .

[gortgaming]

might do this to just get virtualization for bluestacks if i gotta use bios for it

[batchmatch]

would ya pls give link to the video of advanced setting and overclocking tut for this motherboard.

How about 3rd party software that will let me change my 3 140mm front fans & motherboard logo lighting. I installed tha Amoury Crate software & it wrecked my sys. Having to do a complete reformat now to get rid of it all. I have a ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-E WIFI board. The vid was great it might have solved my problem with getting my sys to boot into the Win10 DVD.

Seems very condensed although it visually pales a bit in comparison to these flashy new boards ;)

[JoeyLovesTrains]

This is very useful but my motherboard is not even showing anything on the screen

[jeffwidjaiwdjawd]

[adamcoglianese]
