I just hit my motherboard with a hammer to turn my computer on...
I fist it.
I fist it hard
I know exactly where you got that profile pic ;))))))))))))))))))))
ScrubCrusher69 ;;;)))))
i usually start by sawing my motherboard in half, then drop it from 4,18 meters (13 feet 89⁄16 inches) into the sea.. fish it up, use the CPU as a furbrush on a stray cat found in an alley before ductaping the whole thing together and tossing a PSU on it.. works every time!
haha, biar greget...
How about doing a Video on the totally uncommon, or rarely used settings? That would make for an interesting episode! Upvote, if you think they should put their heads together on this one.
YES PLEASE
Yap
Yeah because we all know common ones, rare ones are the ones we need to know
Yah not sure why they made a video on these settings. Chances are if your watching ltt you know how to set your boot priority. And if you dont stay out of the bios and have someone who knows what they are doing work on it. I think it would make a whole hell of a lot more sense to make a video on the next tier of settings... Virtualization, MCE, ect...
well it's been 2 years, and now they put basic Graphich settings soo i gues there will be no next tier bios settings video
When people mention the BIOS I STILL think of the old 90s BIOS menus, the green blocky "Hackers" kind. I guess I really need to delete my mental cache files lol
Voltaic Fire try formatting it
I think of many 80s PC's which had bios utility in floppy disks.
Old techquickie title:
“Common BIOS settings explained”
Current techquickie titles:
“They put WHAT in the BIOS settings??”
Underrated lmao
because they have explained everything they can
@@setspeed There's no content anymore.

I've been dowloading more RAM every year. Upgraded from DDR3 to DDR4 with a simple install. I've also downloaded a better motherboard and sound card.
you need to download optane free edition. it'll make your vista faster! :P
Lazlow Rave
I DIY CPUs with a press, spool of copper wire and a tube of silicon. Get on my level brah.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I recently downloaded a gtx 1080 ti - works perfectly
the 200mbps that I bought yesterday, is still downloading for me.
BEHOLD! THE MAN WHO DOWNLOADED THE WORLD!
Why is the documentation in the BIOS often so terrible? Is it to much to ask to at least spell out your cryptic abbreviations?
I think today´s motherboard´s bios are waaaay more structured and understandable than those 10-15 years ago :D
Ok, technically they are called uefi now...
Sadly, I fell like manufactures tend to just make the uefi flashy rather then make the navigation genuinely better then the old bioses. At least that's my experience with ASUS.
Nordern A lot of them start in flashy easy mode then you can switch to advanced mode. you can then enable advanced mode permanently. Advanced mode on new uefi settings is better than older ones were.
Or avoid Engrish
*Or maybe Linux if you're hardcore.* -Luke
*Or maybe Linus if you're softcore*
L-D 93 Amen
He showed Ubuntu, though. That's pretty damn soft.
Real men compile the kernel & utilities from source.
Stevy tfw I've unironically done that
Instructions unclear. CPU cooler fell off.
"Maybe Linux if you're hardcore."
Shows Ubuntu.
Edit: 3 years later I get my first notification on this post. I'd completely forgotten it.
FWIW, Yes I know Ubuntu is Linux. No, there's nothing wrong with people that use and like it. All I'm saying is that Ubuntu is generally thought of as an easy, user-friendly Linux, so calling that hardcore is a little funny.
Meh, I gotta admit. Gentoo is much easier than Linux Mint.
Obake Fedora ftw
Wait...is not Ubuntu just one of many variants of Linux?
This is tech quickie. Linux of any flavor is less user friendly for some of the target audience than your standard windows that is so ubiquitous. It's hardcore to many people, maybe not to the most tech savvy here but those aren't the people that tech quickie are trying to help.
xubuntu is nice
Keyboard error! Press F1 to continue.
Razvan Popescu LMAO
idiotic as it is, it's a standard error message on amibios-es...
Razvan Popescu means you need a working keyboard to continue
Tim Fuzail i know what it means. I've been using and selling custom pcs for about 20 years (as a side-business). That doesn't make it less idiotic. They could have just said "keyboard error. cannot continue".
That's just generic. It did not say "Keyboard not detected", so perhaps there are just one or two keys not being detected (Except the F1)? XD
You didn't mention virtualization options like VT-x or AMD-V. Important for using things like Virtual Box, Hyper-V, Docker, or VMWare.
"I wonder if I can use the BIOS to just enable more RAM"
Sure can. XMP.
One thing to note with BIOS passwords though, they can be easily bypassed via so-called “backdoor passwords” that are basically hard-coded backup BIOS passwords that cannot be changed.
Just went to BIOS on my co-workers PC at the office.
and everyone was like, Oh F*ck, can you hack the pentagon?
Why do different manufacturers use different keys to get to the bios?
I couldn't agree more with your frustration on that one. I say just let every mobo maker program that hotkey to the F10 OR F12 key. Some people do have small keyboards that don't include the DEL key nor a numpad. This covers virtually every PC keyboard in existence.
del key exists on every keyboard. There are laptops that need the FN key to use it because of limited space, but it has to be present.
because they like to be a pain in the ass
Dean Calaway my phone keyboard lol
Your phone has BIOS?
No keyboard detected!
Press F1 to continue.....
Yup, definitely want to learn more about BIOS. And debugging what happened when I get a BSOD. That would also make for a great video
LOL, he keeps saying BIOS wrong. It's not BY-ahs, it's BY-ōs. And don't get me started on people who say LYE-nix. Gawd I hate that!
I think fan control optimization would be an interesting addition to this series.
3 questions would greatly appreciate some clarity on:
1. Thoughts on Enabling/Disabling the "Windows 8/10 Features" option? and do I choose WHQL or not?
2. Under "Storage Boot Control" Options whether or not to choose Legacy option ROM or UEFI option ROM?
3. Is it better to choose AHCI or RAID mode when setting up even if you don't plan on doing raid innicially. It doesn't seem like you can change it without reloading OS and was curious if RAID mode supports AHCI functions anyhow?
alt+f4 to enter bios
alt+f4 for unlimited bitches and cash
IMPaused go into cmd and type /del *
...
IMPaused F10 reveals my QBASIC inspired BIOS settings 😒😒
ScorpioX I think it isn't possible anymore to delete system32 in new windows
Dominik Kužila Actually, CMD can do the Trick, but directly deleting will not. It just doesn't allow that.
Fan speed control can also be found in the BIOS. Took me way too long to realize that my case fans where turning at full power the whole time and that they weren't set to being temperature controlled, only the CPU fan was set properly. Computer is a lot quieter since I fixed that.
The power management settings are also useful, as they can control things like if your USB ports should stay powered on or off when you shutdown the computer.
I may be in the minority, but I would love to see a deep dive into every setting in the BIOS, what they mean and what they do.
Does anyone else love Luke's voice when he says *"Ah. Good Question"* at 0:22?
I love that label "EZ Mode" :D
would be super dope to get an updated version of this video
I remember disabling unused devices via bios on my now sold 2003 PC and actually getting a performance boost overall, as in fps, loading speeds, etc
Damn, this guy has a lot of balls to tell people to "tweak to your hearts content". People in Canada must be super relaxed about doing crystal meth.
The BIOS and physically handling a CPU are the scariest things for me. ;~;
5 years later, are you comfortable now? lol
"Try not to break anything"
*breaks everything*
Downloading GHz and RAM
As Fast As Possible
I'd add that for 99% of all users out there the boot from lan (PXE) feature can be disabled to save some boot time. Most people have their OS on their hard drive and don't need to boot from network.
Also setting SATA mode to AHCI (before installing the OS) to get optimum speed is a good idea.
How to set up XMP, just set it on, or are there any other features which should be turned off then, or step up the voltage of the CPU, or something? Or is this all in the xmp profile?
XMP is only for you RAM. Normal DDR4-SPeed is 2133. If you have higher clocked modules, you turn on XMP and it does everything for you, to let them run at the advertised speed (like 2400, 3000, etc.)
xmp is an auto overclocking option for ram, it doesn't effect the cpu or anything else in anyway, just turn it on and you don't have to care
I would love to see a techquickie on overclocking. Ram bus speed, and CPU mainly. I have done this myself with limited success. I just worry about setting the voltage to high.
What is "Dummy power load"
Could we have an update to this video with uncommon, hacker, and power user settings? The Bios on high end machines today have insane amounts of features and settings.
Luke just called me hardcore. I've never been more proud
My windows 10 crashed and i was advised to simply reinstall windows 10 .The problem is that something is turned off in BIOS setting during the crash.Now I have to enable my drivers but how? I don't have a mind for fixing programs.Should i just smash it?
BIAAAAAAAHS
In BIOS>Peripherals>SATA and RST Configuration>SATA Mode Selection I have 2 options: AHCI or Intel RST Premium with Intel Optane System Acceleration. When would i want to enable Intel RST?
The next video should be burning a gtx 1070 from overclocking.
DerpyDerp gtx 1080
with proper cooling , disable boost (turbo) and disable intel steppings (up and down clock steps ). you get the old school permanent clock (or OC) and make things more stable but as said on this video more power drain and more heat production.
please make video on Tesla solar roof
is the bios where you can find your neurological frequency linked to the emf system?
Most of the time I enter BIOS/UEFI, I'm looking for:
-USB Legacy Mode
-AHCI sata mode
Which were not covered in this video sadly :(
Is anyone else super happy to hear a Canadian say "boot" so many times?
At least he said boot correctly.
Enjoy the ''BAIOS''😅😂
A Canadian saying "boot" over and over, love it :)
+1 for linux
I got my as a pre-built about 3 months ago. It's been turned off for about a week or so now. Last night, I tried to play on it for the first time in a while. It starts up fine, but when I try opening or using any application, it immediately freezes and then brings up the bios menu. What would cause this issue?
Hey, if u feel BIOS is annoying , delete x:\ and u will be fine.
WAIT, CAN YOU DISABLE BIOS IN BIOS?
No (but you can corrupt it)
you can corrupt it by turning off the system in the middle of an bios update, but be careful this will brick your motherboard unless you have dual bioses or bios flashback
Building a Windows PC:
1) Install Windows
2) Can't get into BIOS anymore
3) Learn about Windows Fast Boot after hours of troubleshooting
I thought it was pronounced "Bye os" not Bye us"?
he is Cana dian
Canadia eh
The host knows what BIOS is about (pronounced aboot), eh! :-)
Canadian too but dont pronounce like him
like not how he says it bye aws
BIOS:
Basic Input Output System
UEFI:
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface
UEFI replaced BIOS many years ago.
Just look at the wiki pages if you want to know the nitty gritty and why.
Calling it a BIOS is fine though, I'm sure no one will judge you. This is UA-cam after all.
Strange I call it BY OHS
Normally everyone pronounces it that way... bi-oss is just weird.
Pros and cons of Fixed vs Offset Voltage?
Advantages and disadvantages of changing BCLK?
Omg he pronounces it Byoss....
Recently I've changed my motherboard and one of the two front USB 3.0 ports of my cabinet stopped working, even though everything seems to be connected internally. I wonder if some option in the bios is deactivated...
I wish you told me two months ago about XMP profiles, when I was trying to get my RAM running at full frequency with my new Ryzen build!
God damn it!
Ryzen doesn't work with XMP yet
I got news for you laddie. On ASUS's boards you can apply the XMP profile for the frequency of the RAM you have.
I changed it last week, got the RAM running at its full 2666 MHZ (and not stuck at 2133 MHz), and I have had no problem since!
seahawk124 I have an ASRock board and I've been using an XMP Profile at 3200 since I got it.
Good to hear.I just didn't know about them when I was building the system. I only discovered about XMP last week when watching a video from ASUS on how to overclock on the X370 and B350 chipsets.
Fkn rekt m8
Trying to figure out the best number to use for option "energy scale factor" in advanced options > drain power meter > energy scale factor. Bios is insydeh20 rev 5.0. I want to maximize the power , my options are 1 through 7. What does this do and what should I set it as for max power usage?
Nowadays, it's uefi
Well, i wonder. Why do i find "frequency settings" in a B360 (NON OC) board? I'm currently using an i5 8400, so i don't need to OC, but i just wonder why they're there. Voltage control is also there, wtf?
BIOS died about 6 years ago, got replaced by UEFI.
The BIOS is still there. UEFI is just like an Upgrade that is a layer above it. It features more functions, support for newer hardware and advanced hardware boot, so you can use your mouse, etc. But the normal BIOS is still the base of it
Dorinyan Not true, UEFI replaces BIOS in functionality, but they still support legacy BIOS services.
Nope, it's a new standard
Calling it BIOS inevitably leads to noobs having trouble with bootable media when they choose to make them for "BIOS" instead of "UEFI". Just because most people don't understand the difference doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to make it clear.
Still have yet to see a computer with UEFI
I'm so excited to learn more about computers!!!! ^______^
0:56 Let's just correct something here, Linux is not for hardcore people. Everybody uses it.
No, it's not for everybody.
my 66 years old dad who understands nothing about electronics is using ubuntu on his laptop. so fukyeah everybody can easly use it.
Uhhh no. A very small percentage of people use it. Also, one does not need to know anything about electronics to use an OS
In my place
Kids use it
everybody who uses an android smartphone uses a linux android is based on linux
Is there a specific setting in BIOS to enable RAM slots? My pc will only boot with 1 8GB stick and the mobo is rated for up to 32gb of RAM
Could you guys make a video about crypto mining?
new.nicehash.com
Simpler than any 2 minute video.
HAHAHA
it's a pyramid scheme
+Anti Ragequit Not really considering I make $3000 every 2 weeks from my mining farm.
Removing the CMOS battery on modern systems often clears BIOS/UEFI settings but it DOES NOT clear passwords which are stored in EEPROM and do not require power.
On desktops, you can clean the CMOS usually through a switch or jumper on the mobo. On laptops, they occasionally provide a set of pins you can short out to reset passwords and settings but usually you have to contact the manufacturer and get a special code if you can prove you're the original purchaser. Otherwise you have to solder on a replacement EEPROM chip or replace the motherboard entirely if your soldering skills are limited.
I dislike the like button.
I like the dislike button.
JK, I really do appreciate these videos.
Fun fact, you can sometimes add a password directly to a hard drive. It is stored on the drive, not the cmos, so removing the battery won't remove it and people can't use your drive in any pc.
First
actually 564th...
I hope, you learn, how to use, commas.
1. Typically a comma is used when a conjunction is (and, but, for, or, etc) that connects two independent clauses. (Parts of a sentence that can be said alone.)
For example: I went to the store, and I bought eggs.
2. Commas are also used when a dependent clause starts a sentence.
For example: When the cake is done, add candles.
What does XHCI hand-off do?
And also, What is the feature that I need to look for if I want my phone (Or any USB powered device) to use the USB power with my PC is turned off?
You cant charge your devices if your PC is off because it would require the motherboard to be constantly on, wich is not possible with current motherboards without booting the PC.
I don't know man, My brother's PC is Gigabyte, and it can charge the phone without turning the PC on, something's weird.
SourceThunderLight That might be a gigabyte specific feature or a USB card that is directly linked to the PSU for fast charging.
You don't need to be hardcore to run Linux, stop spreading uninformed ideas like that to people who have no idea of what Linux is.
The Smiler I think it was a joke im not sure
Just installed slackware on HD of an Avent 7081. I only created one partition. Now it won't boot from Bios. I get MBR error when not in Bios. I've got a USB stick, 1gb. Can I make a boot drive on this?

More such BIOS videos would be good work. Thank u!

i'd like to learn more about cpu core sync. How does it affect performance?
@Techquicky I don't understand what "Spread Spectrum" is in my BIOS & even the BIOS which gives a lot of detail on what certain things do it just says what the module is. I still don't know what it does & I rarely bother with it
Fast boot is pretty effective on my board. Goes from 2:30 from 25 seconds to boot. About the only thing it does fast. Also the only good thing in my bios. Can't even get fan curves. At least, I can confidently say that my more than 10 yo P5N-D is still rocking.
help me pls.the only thing i need to do in the bios for "default settings" with no overclocking is just xmp, and the boot drive right?
omg this is a very smart one. pls do a continuance
What is a 'Vcore'? I set it to 3.1375 because I was told it's how you download more ram from a program called wannacry. Then I install it, and pay them to download my ram? My smoke alarm keeps going off though, so haven't gotten that far.
How do you fix that you exit asrock uefi setup utility, because it keeps going back to the uefi setup utility and i can't fix it. Please help me
I have an issue with my PC could you help sometimes it won't close down so I have to force to close down with the power button and it always reboots in BIOS what causes my PC to reboot in BIOS when it won't shut down correctly
I know it's going to go into bios when my PC will not shut down when I tried to turn it off but normal my PC keeps on running
Hello, i really need help. What is the name of option in BIOS for 'power management' or 'Eco mode' on Prime B450M-K II from ASUS ?
Somehow I managed to corrupt my bios at one point but thankfully I managed to restore it to its original setting
sometimes when i try to install a fresh windows like 7 the setup tells me to convert from GPT to MBR , had this issue a couple of times so is it BIOS related or what ?
PS: i know how to do this converting but it coast my all my data which so annoying
Is it possible to install Windows in CSM mode with MBR hard drive?
Load windows csm of HDD MBR?
Hey! I need help with the ram in the bios! How do i set my RAM from "relaxed OC" to "enchanced performance". PLZ HELP!
Help! Does anyone know how to exit the Asus bio utility advanced mode? Every time I press F10 to exit or ‘save & exit’ it just bounces back to the same page! the same bio utility page. 😢
I build this pc and it works perfect but how do I go back to the home screen because it keeps bringing me back to the bios whenever I turn it off and on
Any idea why enabling secure boot basically "bricked" my laptop even if it was a fresh new install on a fresh new HDD ? Everything was working well, then went to BIOS and saw secure boot wasn't enabled, so I did. Now it won't even POST or try to power the screen.
Haha he said clueless about at the end, but because he's Canadian, it sounded aboot. Booting the pc haha.
Everyone's Bios is different. One thing I have learned in the past 6 years is that everyone enjoys and knows their own bios layout best. My brother uses an Asus motherboard and I use a Gigibyte motherboard and I prefer how mine looks and he prefers how his looks. The layout is all preferences but in the end it's all about the features of the motherboard Bios that matters!
Hi. What could be the problem with the BIOS if I can access the setup utility but can't edit it.
I can't find option to change boot mode i.e. between legacy and uefi in modern bios say version-308 as it is easy available in traditional bios versions
excuse me i waht to reset my bios but there are three option bios default, factory setting and custom setting what to choose i am confused..
the different cooling options watercooled or aircooled under the cpu tab under ASUS bios. and different cpu core clocks whats that? what settings should i use and how do i know what chages will optimize my setup?
What is USB boot? it says it's enabled but idk how to boot from a usb or open the boot from device on startup
