Hi people! I am a newbie at a computer world so I got a few questions about BIOS. How to access it? I did a windows search but I couldnt find anything. Where is its folder, how to access it. I am also interesting in overclocking my CPU so if you know somethingWhat are the most valuable options in BIOS, can you describe it for me? I heard about things like first boot device, temperature monitoring and stuff. I would like to find out what is my actual motherboard temperature. Thanks!

Hi! First of all, you need to know that BIOS isnt a folder. It is installed in your computers ROM memory. ROM is totally different form the RAM. It is an absolute storage. That means that its contents stay in ROM forever. BIOS is installed in ROM memory and it can never be deleted. So to access your BIOS you must reboot your computer. Press delete taster few times and you will see the blue screen. Dont worry it isnt the blue screen. This one is regular. So you will see a lot of options here. First one is dedicated to boot devices, so you can easily set it up. To monitor your temperature go to hardware option, and you will see temperature option. Enter it and you will see the actual temperature of your CPU as well as for motherboard.
