Bump for the relevant parts of this request. Not the bs conversation people are injecting in here about other irrelevant ****. Would love bios improvements.

Hmm but true

I have been buying the evga classified for a few generations and I was wondering if we can get a bios that is not lacking features. Anyone else with needs please post them here. This is a list of bios features not found on my old x99 classified:

Ability to change Turbo mode parameters:



Ability to view current used voltage values:



Ability to start bios on safe mode if the overclock had a problem. 

Thanks for your time, here's to hoping something full featured. 

I agree. I recently replaced my ASUS ROG Rampage VI Apex with the X299 Dark and the lack of BIOS options is a bit disappointing. I have not lost any overclocking abilities with the CPU or RAM, but there are many settings that I prefer to control manually. I was also disappointed with the lack of features like the Memory OK and BIOS Retry buttons. When I got the Rampage VI Apex replacement from ASUS, I had to really stop and think about which one to keep and which one to sell. It was a difficult decision. The X299 Dark lacks nothing in terms of build/durability. I ultimately kept the X299 Dark because ASUS warranty service sucks compared to EVGA. EVGA is awesome in that area. It took 5 weeks to get a replacement board from ASUS. The reason I purchased the X299 Dark in the first place is because I had already experienced ASUS' painfully slow warranty service once before and was expecting a slow ride. Little did I know it would take them more than a month to resolve, and that totally unacceptable cycle time was ultimately the deciding factor for me. 
 
The BIOS menu options on the ASUS enthusiast motherboards is elaborate, extensive and granular, and I used all of them on the Maximus and Rampage boards. Would be nice to at least have things like the power and current limit control and LLC. Most of these settings are managed automatically by the EVGA firmware, and it does a nice job of it. No complaint in that regard, I just prefer have the ability to control it all, and those buttons we are missing were extremely useful. It was nice being able to boot in a "safe mode" to tweak just one setting instead of having to start over from scratch after clearing the CMOS. I've adapted to the lack of them by saving profiles as I go about the tuning, then overwriting them with my final settings.
