Asus uses AMI BIOS for all the tweaks and functionalities that one might need to push the system to its limits. Perhaps one of the features that will intrigue the enthusiast community is the BIOS restore feature. It will allow you to go back to the settings that worked previously, thereby, reducing the hassle to reset the CMOS every time a certain setting didn’t work and results in a system in a non-reboot situation. The BIOS packs in a plethora of features to satisfy any enthusiast who is looking to take advantage of every bit of performance from this board. The apparent problem with KT800 chipset boards is the lack of AGP/PCI lock and the K8V-SE is no different in that regard. Therefore, our hopes for overclocking this board are limited. Another thing to point out of is that the board supports only 2.8v of DRAM voltage, which is yet another setback with the enthusiast crowd. Other than these two setbacks, we found the board to be filled with great features that should satisfy majority of you out there.
