5 GIGABYTE UC BIOS new features you may not know (but will love)
Since its debut with the 600 and 700-series motherboards, GIGABYTE User-centered BIOS (UC BIOS) has been well-received for its sleek interface and user-friendly design. But did you know it’s evolved even further? With the release of the 800-series motherboards, UC BIOS introduces a host of powerful new features that not only enhance performance but also redefine the BIOS tweaking experience. Here are 5 features you might have missed—and will absolutely love.
1) Smarter Settings with AI PerfDrive
Remember GIGABYTE PerfDrive from the 700 series? It’s been reimagined as AI PerfDrive, a smarter tool that uses intelligent evaluation to recommend the optimal configuration for your system based on its actual thermal performance.
Available on GIGABYTE Z890 series motherboards, AI PerfDrive now includes Intel Default Settings and creates custom profiles tailored to your setup. The standout addition? The “Recommend Me Profile” tool integrates directly into the BIOS. It analyzes your system and suggests the best preset for your configuration. It’s like having a tuning expert built right into your motherboard.
2) More Power Boost with Active OC Tuner & X3D Turbo Mode
Exclusive to GIGABYTE X870E/X870 motherboards, Active OC Tuner dynamically switches between AMD P.B.O. (Precision Boost Overdrive) and Manual OC modes depending on your workload. This ensures maximum performance, delivering up to a 7% boost. For gaming or light tasks, it utilizes AMD P.B.O. to achieve the highest CPU boost clocks. For heavy workloads, it transitions seamlessly to Manual OC mode for full-core performance.
Are you currently rocking a Ryzen X3D CPU? Get ready for next-level performance with X3D Turbo Mode. Built into X870E/X870 motherboards, this feature optimizes core distribution, bandwidth, and power balancing, delivering up to an 18% performance gain for Ryzen™ 9000 series processors. Whether you’re gaming, this feature will definitely get you ahead of the curve.
3) A Personalized Look with Multi-Theme BIOS
Who says the BIOS interface has to be boring? With the new Multi-Theme Design, you can personalize your BIOS interface to match your aesthetic. Choose from themes like AORUS, AORUS Bright, or the modern and minimalist GrayScale mode.
The GrayScale mode isn’t just about looks—it’s designed for functionality, offering a clean and distraction-free layout that’s perfect for serious BIOS tuning sessions. This feature brings both style and substance to your BIOS experience.
4) Easier Cooling Management with AIO Fan Control
Managing your AORUS AIO CPU cooler's fan speeds just got a whole lot simpler! The new AIO Fan Control function in UC BIOS lets you adjust fan settings directly from the BIOS, a perfect feature designed for non-Windows users.
Designed for the AORUS WATERFORCE X II series AIOs, it’s a must-have for anyone putting together an all-AORUS build. Whether you're going for whisper-quiet operation or chasing peak cooling performance, AIO Fan Control makes fine-tuning your AIO effortless.
5) Get Deeper Insights with HWiNFO Integration
Our partnership with HWiNFO has reached new heights this time around, bringing advanced monitoring features right to your fingertips. The new Power Monitor* provides real-time insights into CPU Vcore power phase outputs and efficiency, allowing you to closely monitor and optimize your system to ensure the long-term health of your hardware.
With instant access to comprehensive BIOS details—like toggle statuses and version numbers—you no longer need to reboot your system for critical information. This seamless integration gives you unparalleled control and visibility into your system’s performance.
*This feature is available only on GIGABYTE AMD and Intel 800 series motherboards with Intersil, Onsemi, and Infineon power controllers. Check the User Manual for details.
