I would like to have seen PBO options in the tweaker section, at least. There is an entire section for overclocking within the Settings heading, which is mostly duplicated in the tweaker section. But still, we found ourselves jumping around a bit. For the most part, Gigabyte has done a good job at putting the most-often used options under the same heading. The tweaker section, or as it was called on X470 based boards, MIT, is where you’ll find all the functionality necessary for overclocking the CPU, setting memory speed and timings and other power type features. You can add to this page by pressing the insert key from other tabs to make it ‘yours’. By default, it includes CPU BCLK and Ratio controls as well as XMP profile and Vcore/Load Line Calibration functions. The favorites section is a user-customized portion of the BIOS. From left to right, there’s Favorites, Tweaker, Settings, System Info., Boot and Save and Exit.

Across the top, there are several headings each with specific functionality beneath.

The Advanced mode is where most of the tweaking and overclocking will be handled. Any other functionality will have to come from the advanced sections. On the lower right-hand side is where one can switch into advanced mode, Smart Fan 5, or Q-Flash, as well as loading defaults, can be done here. You’re able to adjust a few things on this screen including setting the XMP profile, changing the boot sequence, as well as access Smart Fan 5 to control your fans. It will also display an installed SATA or M.2 drives, as well as what is populating the PCIe slots. There is a section covering the CPU frequency and voltage, along with temperatures of the CPU, chipset, and VRMs. It displays information such as the motherboard name, BIOS version and the installed CPU and RAM amount. Starting off in Easy Mode, this section is mostly informative with a bit of editing and interaction allowed. For example, MIT has been replaced with “Tweaker,” though overall styling and the Aorus theme of Orange and black remain the same. Moving on to the UEFI / BIOS, there are some slight changes to what I am used to across the top.
