BIOS

The BIOS that TriGem have chosen for KLOSS is an AMI type, as you'd find on many an ASUS mainboard these days. It gives you fairly complete control over the hardware and setup, although it's obvious it's not a tweakers system as there's no provision for setting voltages or memory timings. The overclocking support is limited to selection one of the Turbo profiles in the BIOS and activating it using the SYS INFO button on KLOSS's front panel. The silent profile is tied to that too, giving you a range of frequency ratios, expressed as percentages, to choose for that profile which you again activate using SYS INFO.

You shouldn't be remiss that KLOSS doesn't feature tweaking options; it's not aimed at that market. Here are some shots of the BIOS for familiarity and to let you see the Turbo and Silent profile choices you have available.
