The early 2010s was peak BIOS design. When I built a new PC in 2022 to replace my 2014 4th gen i5 machine, I was amazed to discover that the BIOS interface in my brand new, $500 AM5 motherboard was actually worse than the one in my old $120 board.
The old one ran at my display’s native resolution (1080p at the time), had a contemporary interface, and cool stats showing on the left and right sides of the screen. Meanwhile the BIOS in my modern PC runs at 1024x768, is mostly text-based, and so many settings are just buried several menus deep. IDK if this is an AMD problem or an AM5 problem (not a motherboard manufacturer problem cause they’re both Gigabyte boards), but it was a shock to the system for sure to see how badly the tech has regressed.


I just wanted to say that I’m proud of you for using the proper form of “its”. It’s a tricky one, for sure.
