BIOS

ASUS was the first motherboard manufacturer that introduced the new UEFI BIOS back in the days and since that day not much has changed. There have been some minor changes here and there but didn't touch the basic layout or Design. Since it's great anyway since day one, why should they. The interface is easy to understand and also childrens play to use. Furthermore the BIOS of ASUS' Z97 Mark S boards features a lot of additional settings to squeeze even the last bit of performance out of the board. Apart from that you get the intro splash screen, which is a nice additon for less experienced useres. It let's you change some very basic settings in an as easy as possible way.

Below you find a selection of screenshots from the latest BIOS. You will notice. Since the BIOS are identical except for a few product specific features and we already talked about the several options in other TUF-Serie motherboards, there is no need in depth.
