BIOS Optimization Guide

If you like to mess around with your BIOS to squeeze every last bit of performance out, Tech ARP has a great guide that lists all the various settings and what they do exactly. They give information on what enabling/disabling each setting would actually do and suggestions as to what would increase performance as well as some things to look out for.

This should help you decide which settings you may want to mess with, and which you want to stay away from all together. If you are new to this you probably don’t want to be learning about socketed BIOS chips, beep codes and BIOS recovery options from a failed experiment.
