You need to select "Server." You can access various tech support options from there. This will allow the board to finish its POST and get along with the business of booting up.Īlso, for reasons that are not entirely clear to me, ASUS does not list the P10S WS under its normal motherboard section. It is either in the Boot, or the Advanced section of the EUFI. In the meantime, there is a setting in the UEFI where you can tell the board not to wait for an F1 on error. We'll see if it comes back working properly, or not. This appears to be a flaw in the BIOS, which must still exist as part of the UEFI. It appears the BIOS does not correctly hold on to its settings and wants to reconfigure itself upon boot. I called ASUS tech support a few times about this and a few other related issues with the board. In fact, I had the same problem with two different samples of the board. I’ll let the screenshots speak for themselves, but I think it goes without saying, EVGA has easily offered one of the most robust BIOSes on the market, if not the most.I realize this is resurrecting an old thread, but I had the same problem with my P10S WS board. This is a little more advanced than most people may like, but as you can see in the shots below, the default settings are sensible (but if you have a high RPM fan, you may want to lower some of the values). You first need to alter various thresholds, and then manually enter the percentage of top speed that you’d like to use at that respective threshold. In the “Hardware Health” section, you are able to configure your fans on a per-header basis. One area where EVGA’s BIOS excels is with the fan control. Most settings will appeal to overclockers only, but to see such incredible control on a ~$200 board is fantastic, even if most people will never touch even 5% of what’s available here. If you don’t, it can be ignored.Ĭompared to any of the P55 boards I’ve taken a look at recently, and possibly compared to any board I’ve ever looked at, the BIOS on the P55 FTW is exhaustive with its options. The control is there for those who want it. But that being the case, it’s not a bad thing. More than ever, the sheer amount of control offered to end-users is incredible, and in the case for most users, it’s total overkill. Overclocking has become an obvious focus for a lot of motherboard vendors over the past few years, and it’s easily reflected by simply taking a look at the BIOS. Interestingly, even though EVGA has an obvious like for overclocking, the respective menu is found at the absolute end of the list. I’ve come to prefer alternate styles, such as the one found on ASUS’ boards, as I find them less clunky (top-mounted menu, as opposed to this), but this still gets the job done. Like many other motherboard vendors, EVGA uses a completely recognizable AMI BIOS.
