The main additions, as we saw with the Maximus VI Impact review, come from the My Favorites list, allowing users to select certain options and create a menu of their own, SSD Secure Erase to pass the ATA Secure Erase command to compatible SSDs, the Last Modified popup that lets overclockers know exactly what has changed between BIOS saves and, for the RIVBE, the black theme to go along with the black edition.ĪSUS would like me to point out that SSD Secure Erase is best used for SSDs that pass ASUS’ quality control list any SSDs not on that list could exhibit non-standard behavior and be rendered unusable by SSD Secure Erase. The jump in the ASUS BIOS from X79 RIVE to X79 RIVBE comes by virtue of the Maximus VI Z87 range of improvements.
