The MSI Click BIOS 4 gives an MSI gaming theme just as the Z87 variant did. We liked the now familiar layout and the theme, it is simple to navigate and shows the current configuration at the top, OC Genie and XMP status in a very clear and simple way.
As with most manufacturers, MSI include some CPU and system fan controls in the BIOS. For all tests we left these on Smart Fan Mode to let the motherboard do its own thing.
We are pretty used to this sort of thing these days, but still, a gamer feel and a good layout.

This motherboard is aimed at gamers and it has all the right features excluding SLi. During our game tests we did not feel the need for SLi, justifying the little motherboard in its own right. You can get a GTX970 or 770, as we did, into most modern mITX Chassis, combing with this motherboard to make an excellent high end gamer rig or Steam Box.
