As we continue on with our review of the EVGA P67 FTW motherboard, the next area to explore is the UEFI bios. Before we show the BIOS video tour, we wanted to mention the included EVGA E-LEET Tuning Utility which can be found on the CD packaged with the motherboard. The E-LEET software integrates with the BIOS to offer the user overclocking on-the-fly from the Windows desktop. In addition to allowing on-the-fly BIOS adjustments, the E-LEET software also has the ability to monitor voltages, temperatures and CPU speed. There a several other tabs of information available too, such as graphics, processes, memory speed, etc. The ability to overclock from the desktop is a real time saver because you can load up your voltages and CPU speeds and test them for stability right from the desktop. Once you are satisfied with your settings you can enter BIOS and make the permanent changes there. This keeps you from having to reboot the system every time you want to make adjustments and test them.
We strongly suggest updating your BIOS to the latest version before attempting any overclocking. At the time of this review, BIOS version 18 was the latest available and fixed many of the early issues, especially those related to memory compatibility.
Now on to the video tour of the BIOS!
