BIOS/UEFI

The BIOS on the Asrock Z590 Taichi is nice to use. At first, it runs in the Easy Mode.

After using F6 – it becomes more complex. It’s functional, and you’ll find all the necessary features there. Navigation in the BIOS 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. We also find the tab containing the favorites.

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 third 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, change the time lapse between the rotation of the gears on the rear connector cover, or for example, secure an SSD.

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.
