Chapter 3
BIOS Setup
CLICK BIOS is a revolutionary UEFI interface that allows you to setup an\
d 
configure your system for optimum use. Using your mouse and keyboard, 
users can change BIOS settings, monitor CPU temperature, select the boot\
 
device priority and view system information such as the CPU name, DRAM 
capacity, the OS version and the BIOS version. Users can import and expo\
rt 
parameter data for backup or for sharing with friends.

Entering Setup
The default settings offer the optimal performance for system stability in normal condi -
tions. You may need to run the Setup program when:
 
■ An error message appears on the screen during the system booting up, and 
requests you to run SETUP.
 
■ You want to change the default settings for customized features.
 Important
• Please clear the CMOS data and restore the default settings if the syste\
m becomes 
unbootable after changing BIOS settings. (Refer to the Clear CMOS jumpe\
r/ button section to clear the CMOS data, select the "Restore Defaults" and press \
 in BIOS to load the default settings.)
• If you are unfamiliar with the BIOS settings, we recommend that you keep\
 the default settings to avoid possible system damage or failure booting due \
to inappropriate BIOS configuration.
Entering BIOS Setup
Power on the computer and the system will start the Power On Self Test (POST) pro-
cess. When the message below appears on the screen, press  key to e\
nter  
BIOS:
Press  to run BIOS setup, or  to run boot menu
If the message disappears before you respond and you still need to enter BIOS, restart 
the system by turning the computer OFF then back ON or pressing the RESET button. 
You may also restart the system by simultaneously pressing , , and  keys.
MSI additionally provides two methods to enter the BIOS setup. You can click the “GO-
2BIOS” tab on “MSI Fast Boot” utility screen or press the physical “GO2BIOS" button 
(optional) on the motherboard to enable the system going to BIOS setup directly at next 
boot. 
Click "GO2BIOS" tab on 
"MSI Fast Boot" utility 
screen. 
 Important
Please be sure to install the “MSI Fast Boot” utility before using\
 it to enter the BIOS setup.
