It is the firmware that comes preinstalled on every PC and is the first code to run whenever you boot up your computer. It manages the boot process&mdash;performing the Power-On Self-Test (POST) before Windows loads&mdash;and locates software and drivers on your PC to ensure your hardware and OS (operating system) work in concert.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">Modern systems use UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), which offers a more advanced GUI, faster booting, and larger-disk support&mdash;yet you&rsquo;ll often see &ldquo;BIOS&rdquo; and &ldquo;UEFI&rdquo; used interchangeably. In this article, we&rsquo;ll treat the terms as synonymous. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>But it goes beyond that: with a bit of knowledge and the right approach, you can squeeze out extra performance from your PC without having to swap out your hardware. Once you have a good handle on it, you can control how your PC runs every time you turn it on.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">A few simple BIOS tweaks&mdash;like disabling unused onboard features, enabling an XMP\/EXPO profile for faster RAM, or adjusting CPU power limits&mdash;can speed up boot and load times and make a noticeable difference in gaming, boosting frame rates and reducing input lag. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h2>How to Get into the BIOS Settings<\/h2>\n<p>\nYou will not find the BIOS settings within the normal Windows-running interface. These settings can only be accessed when your PC is booting up. In other words, that small interval of time between your PC coming on and launching your default drivers and services is when you can intercept it and get into the BIOS settings.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>&#128204; Also interesting: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/how-to-change-boot-order-in-bios-in-windows-10-11\/\">How to Change Boot Order in BIOS in Windows 10\/11<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Tips for accessing the BIOS settings on Windows computers<\/h2>\n<p>\nTo access the BIOS settings on your Windows PC, follow the steps outlined below:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Restart your computer.<\/b> This is so you can get the PC into that aforementioned phase between its initial bootup and loading of drivers and services.

For instance, if you overclock your CPU or RAM, it can lead to overheating and potentially cause permanent damage. To avoid that, don&rsquo;t forget to take a look inside your motherboard&rsquo;s manual or get to know the manufacturer&rsquo;s guidelines before making changes.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">How often should you update the BIOS?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tYou shouldn&rsquo;t update the BIOS unless the update offers new features you need, is specifically recommended by your hardware manufacturer, or is necessary, for instance, when resolving hardware compatibility issues.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">What is the difference between UEFI and the BIOS?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tThe BIOS and UEFI are both firmware interfaces for computers, but UEFI is the modern successor to the BIOS that boots faster, supports drives over 2 TB, and has more advanced features. One of those is Secure Boot, which helps protect against malware.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">How to optimize RAM timings in the BIOS for gaming?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tYou need to lower the CAS latency (indicated as CL or tCL), RAS to CAS delay (tRCD), and other timing parameters. You need to know that this process can be complex and risky, so unless you know what you&rsquo;re doing, think about consulting with an expert first.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">What is the best boot order for a gaming PC?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tUnless you need to boot from an external device, your first boot option should be the primary drive where your OS is stored.

It all started with playing DOOM on a prehistoric Pentium computer and teaching myself how to install software and deal with the countless bugs (not much has changed in that regard). I went on to earn an associate degree in computer science and a master\u2019s degree in linguistics, followed by over 11 years of work blending technology, translation, and interpretation.
