Revision BIOS Tweaking Guide

Generally meant for ASUS ROG BIOS, but can be used as a guideline/reference for other
BIOS’.

Improves latency, performance and overclocking capabilities.

NOTE: Depending on the version of BIOS you have, you may find some of the settings listed
elsewhere.

Boot Option Properties


● Boot Option #1
○ (Select your main OS drive)

Advanced

➤ CPU Configuration
Hyper-Threading
● [Enabled] <- Recommended for people with less than 6 cores (CPU)
○ + Best for rendering and processing
○ + Better streaming capabilities
○ + Newer technology
○ - Slightly worse latency
○ - Higher CPU temperatures
○ - Lower FPS in some games, depending on game engine
○ - Prone to stuttering in some cases

● [Disabled]
○ + Better latency
○ + Lower temps
○ + Higher FPS, depending on game engine
○ + Less stuttering (in most games)
○ + Better overclocking capabilities
○ ~ Usually beneficial for CPUs with 6 cores and above
○ - Worse rendering and processing performance

➔ Hyper-Threading example:
◆ Battlefield multiplayer games benefit from Hyper-Threading Enabled.
◆ The benefits of Hyper-Threading, or lack thereof, heavily depends on the
game engine.
