UEFI – The Revolutionary BIOS Interface
ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (AXTU) is an all-in-one software to fine-tune different features in an user-
friendly interface, which includes Hardware Monitor, Fan Control, Overclocking, OC DNA and IES. In
Hardware Monitor, it shows the major readings of your system. In Fan Control, it shows the fan speed and
temperature for you to adjust. In Overclocking, you are allowed to adjust the CPU frequency, ratio and
some voltages for optimal system performance. In OC DNA, you can save your OC settings as a profile
and share with your friends. Your friends then can load the OC profile to their own system to get the same
OC settings. In IES (Intelligent Energy Saver), the voltage regulator can reduce the number of output
phases to improve efficiency when the CPU cores are idle without sacrificing computing performance.
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a
revolutionary BIOS utility which offers tweak-
friendly options in an advanced viewing interface.
Compared with traditional BIOS design, the latest
UEFI utility provides lots improved functions. The
major features of UEFI include:
1. Graphical Visual Experience – UEFI provides an
improved visual interface with colorful icons and
makes your computing environment more versatile
to replace the traditional dull BIOS page.
2. Mouse Enabling – Besides keyboard control,
you can freely use mouse to select your ideal
settings in UEFI as well.
3. Support bootable HDD over than 2TB – UEFI
breaks the limitation of 2TB bootable HDD on
traditional BIOS. With UEFI, you can enjoy the
bootable HDD size over than 2TB!*
*Windows Vista-64bit or Windows 7-64bit OS is required
