Biostar Hi-Fi Z77X Motherboard Review

BIOS

While Biostar have created a UEFI interface for the motherboard, it's not up to the standard of those we've seen from Asus and ASRock in the past.

All of the usual settings are available throughout a series of menus.

All of the overclocking settings we'd usually ask for are present and are fairly easy to find.  However, we would like to see Biostar including an automatic OC option on future models for less experienced users.

Overclocking

We were impressed with the overclocking ability of the Biostar Hi-Fi Z77X.  Achieving an overclock of 4.8 GHz was very simple indeed, requiring us only to bump the voltage to 1.36V and the multiplier to 48x.  We used this setting for our overclocked tests.
