![]() ![]() This layout is beneficial if we ever get an increase in BIOS resolution in the future so more information can be put into the center console. ![]() What is great about this is that the top bar (and side navigation tools) are persistent throughout the BIOS, never once disappearing. The front page is good - we have CPU and system temperatures, CPU model, and speed, memory speed, memory size, BIOS version, and a boot order at the top. Do not get me wrong, the BIOS is well designed and easy to use - it is just that it could perhaps be easier, especially for overclocking. Over the past few generations, I have been either critical of MSI with their P67 'BIOS games' (explained to me later as more of a technical showcase), or appreciative of their X79 revision. MSI's graphical BIOS was the result of an internal design competition - given various intricacies and factors in the final designs, the one that came 3rd went on to be the graphical interface we see today. The X79A-GD45 Plus, as of BIOS V17.7, unfortunately did not have these new improvements, and is similar to that encountered with the Z77A-GD65 which we reviewed previously: With Z87, MSI had upgraded the BIOS system on those motherboards and we rather liked the new design of fan controls in the BIOS. ![]()
