Asus X99 Deluxe UEFI BIOS Utility
Asus’ UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface ) BIOS Utility is very much easy to use. If you are familiar with the previous generation, it’s pretty much similar or at least the feeling and experience is quite similar. The user interface, as expected, is well organized, easy to follow and very user friendly.
There’s an EZ mode for the not-so-techie users who do not want to mess around with the advanced settings. Most screenshots of the EZ Mode below.
Meanwhile, for the control freaks, extreme overclockers and enthusiasts who just want to control every aspect of the motherboard, you have the Advanced Mode. You know what to expect on the advanced settings. Personally, I like tweaking with the advanced settings, as it gives me more options and precise control than EZ mode.
For those of you who are still new to Asus’ UEFI BIOS, you can check out the Advanced mode screenshots below for your reference.
Like most motherboards out there, the Asus X99 Deluxe comes with bundled software including the main utility software. In this case, the X99 Deluxe comes with the AI Suite, just like most (if not all) of its motherboards. The AI Suite feature Dual Intelligent Processor 5 were you can control its performance, connectivity options, fan and cooling, and more. The software bundle also includes Asus Product Registration, HomeCloud Drive, and Asus Turbo LAN.
I have one, this board is still unstable, slow boot, unstable during overclocking, lot of issues during boot, ASUS support is use less, they do not accept their mistakes of producing unstable boards. I had to change 3 ASUS deluxe boards to get one stable one.
my other pc H87 Asrock boards boots in 8-10 seconds, but this one takes a whole minute, even with Samsung pro 128gb SSD.
very soon I will change this board and go for Gigabyte, MSI or ASrock
I just bought the 3.1 version of this board. See lots of praise, and lots of heartache. Hope I am the former? Decided to go with x99 and 5820K instead of Z170 and Skylake i7. Hope I dont have to return it and I can OC my CPU and Ram. Got a 980 TI to go along with it. Ive built many computers, but this is my first gaming centric build. Wish me luck!
