BIOS/UEFI

BIOS/UEFI

The BIOS on the Asrock B550 PG RIPTIDE is relatively nice to use. It has all the needed options, with necessary tweaking settings. Navigation in the BIOS/UEFI is intuitive and leaves nothing to be desired. Below, you’ll see some screenshots.

The first tab is named “Main,” which will group information on the BIOS version, processor, and memory references. 

In the second tab, “OC Tweaker,” we will find everything relating to overclocking. The menu comprises three parts the CPU Configuration, DRAM Configuration part, and the part used for modifying the voltages.

In the “Advanced” menu, we have several settings such as the configuration of NVMe, storage devices, and settings relating to the CPU.

In the “Tool” menu, we can modify the lighting using the ASRock Polychrome RGB, install RAID, Secure Erase the SSD, use the NVMe Sanitization Tool or flash the BIOS using the "Instant Flash".

The “H / W Monitor” tab displays temperatures, fan speeds, and voltages.

The “Security” tab is mainly used for setting up a supervisor and user password.

The “Boot” tab allows you to select the priority of bootable devices. You can also deactivate or activate Fast Boot, activate Wake on Lan, etc.

In the "Exit" tab you can save/discard changes, load UEFI defaults, or override the Boot settings.
