Gigabyte - Bios

The Gigabyte board uses the Award BIOS, which, I believe, is a very familiar sight to all readers. Beside the usual stuff there's the MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T. for short), which reveals the voltage and clock speed settings.

Gigabyte gives full control over all the voltages and clock speeds that matter, including the integrated graphics. You can also make these settings from Windows using the great AMD Overdrive utility that works on all boards with AMD chipsets.

Gigabyte - EasyTune6

For overclocking and energy saving Gigabyte has bundled the board with EasyTune 6 and Easy Energy Saver programs. The EasyTune works fairly well, but I still much rather use the AMD OverDrive. The Power Saves may help squeeze some watts from the power consumption and also show the results in nice graphical way.
