BIOS Features

MSI bundled the Z87-GD65 Gaming motherboard with the latest version of their UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS, a customized version of the AMI-developed UEFI style BIOS. The UEFI BIOS offers full keyboard and mouse support while using the BIOS pages with enhanced mouse navigation supported by right clicking the mouse – goes back to previous view if inside a settings pop-up or on a sub-menu page.

MSI's UEFI BIOS design for the Z87-GD65 Gaming board is very similar to the UEFI implementation used for the previous generation Z77A-GD65 Gaming board. This UEFI BIOS continues to remain a personal favorite because of its smoothness, layout, and design. The BIOS is very responsive both with the mouse and keyboard. I didn't notice any lag at all when using the mouse buttons – menus and settings responded well to double-click and reverse navigation occurred quickly when right-clicking the window or screen. MSI also includes a screencap utility, which generates a BMP 1024×768 image on an attached USB drive upon clicking the F12 function key.
