MPG Z390 GAMING PRO CARBON BIOS

The CLICK BIOS 5 of the MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon is separated into two sections, EZ Mode (for beginners) and Advanced (for more advanced users). The EZ Mode is clearly aimed towards gamers and allows you to check the current system status, change the drive boot priority, set the fan plan, enable/disable various features like the M.2 Optane support and the onboard HD Audio card, access the hardware monitor and launch the M-flash area to perform a BIOS update.

You can access the advanced section via the F7 key and once you do you will get several different tabs (the ones that don't stand out much are the GAME BOOST and XMP located on the top left).

Via the settings tab you get access to the time and date, quick system status screen, everything related to PCIe/LAN/SATA/HD Audio/integrated Graphics/USB and of course the boot settings and sequence.

The OC tab is self-explanatory so from here you can set the CPU/Ring/GT ratios, adjust the BCLK clocks, enable/disable the XMP profile, adjust voltages (although for most people i do recommend leaving almost everything at auto), set memory timings, access information about the CPU and the system, adjust the various CPU features and finally you can view a nice picture of the mainboard which showcases every installed component.
