The NZXT Aries 650 WiFi is a motherboard that offers a range of features and options for users to customize their system. One of the key areas of customization is in the BIOS settings, where users can fine-tune various parameters to optimize their system's performance.
In terms of power delivery, the motherboard features a range of settings to allow users to adjust their CPU and GPU voltages. The default setting for CPU voltage is set at 1.2V, which is considered a moderate setting that should be suitable for most users. However, users who want more control over their CPU voltage can select from a range of options, including auto, manual entry, or browse through a list of pre-set values to find the one that suits their needs.
The motherboard also features a "Auto" setting for the CPU voltage, which is set at 1.4V by default. However, users who want more control over their system's power delivery can select from a range of options, including manual entry or browsing through a list of pre-set values to find the one that suits their needs.
Another key area of customization is in the motherboard's integrated graphics settings. The motherboard features a "Auto" setting for the integrated graphics voltage, which is set at 1.1V by default. However, users who want more control over their system's power delivery can select from a range of options, including manual entry or browsing through a list of pre-set values to find the one that suits their needs.
The motherboard also features a "per core overclocking" option, which allows users to adjust the voltage and frequency for each individual core. This can be useful for enthusiasts who want to push their system to its limits.
In addition to power delivery, the motherboard also features a range of other settings that allow users to customize their system's behavior. These include options to disable hyper-threading, change the number of active cores, and toggle multi-monitor support.
The motherboard also features a "fan control" option, which allows users to select from a range of fan profiles or override the default settings with custom settings. This can be useful for enthusiasts who want more control over their system's cooling system.
One of the unique features of the motherboard is its ability to support up to nine fans through the grid controller. The motherboard features a drop-down menu that allows users to select which fan to adjust, and each option is labeled according to the motherboard headers. This can be useful for enthusiasts who want more control over their system's cooling system.
Overall, the NZXT Aries 650 WiFi motherboard offers a range of features and options that allow users to customize their system's performance and behavior. While some users may find the BIOS settings overwhelming, the motherboard's intuitive interface and customizable options make it easy to navigate and optimize for specific use cases.
In terms of aesthetics, the motherboard is designed with NZXT's signature style in mind. The PCB features a sleek design with a silver and black color scheme, and the overall build quality is excellent. However, as mentioned earlier, the motherboard's focus on performance and customization means that it may not be the most visually striking option.
For users who want more information about the motherboard, including its hardware specifications and performance characteristics, we will be publishing a full review in the coming weeks.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: eneveryone we're at the NZXT suite now at CES 2018 we're gonna look at something we didn't get a chance to look at before leaving for CES which is the BIOS for the new n7 motherboard this is the motherboard we previously did a video on the hardware side of it it's called the n7 it's a $300 III 70 motherboard for Intel platforms and a lot of the prices derived from the integrated RGB and fan controllers the hue and the grid products that are basically sold separately but integrated as opposed to higher-end VRMs and things like that before that this coverage is brought to you by Thermaltake and the flow liquid cooler the flow is a 360 millimeter radiator with three ring RGB LED fans you can program the fans our custom lighting through software and then of course benefit from the larger radiator size and cooling performance learn more at the link in the description below so the board doesn't take quite the same approach as most the $300 boards we've looked at which means the BIOS is going to be a little bit more basic but it's trying to solve different problems we'll talk about that more in the review and the time comes for that after the show for now though I did want to go through BIOS and show off what we haven't gotten the show this is the basic BIOS most motherboards have one at this point and it's I mean it's pretty simple you have a normal mode in performance mode and it's got a graphic icon indicator and that's about the end of that side of things performance just pre overclocks it I would assume it's using a lookup table like every other motherboard for pre overclock setting on the CPU that's installed which in this case is an 8700 K and you've got time some voltages and that's that's most a boot order as well if we go over to Advanced Mode to get to the more interesting stuff and that will you start off with a standard main tab right here so nothing special there in time language we go over to CPU and RAM is where most of the action is so CPU settings is you've got standard est turbo boost all these pretty standard features to have from Intel there are power limit overrides and I guess I think you can even straight disabled on which is always good I don't know to what the and power limits correspond so there's one two three and four we'll figure that out later but you've got four power limits I would assume one is probably a core power or core current or something like that and only you can you can toggle the current limits for overclocking purposes but you go in here and then you can set in either just straight disable it or type in a manual number which in this case is input in milliwatts so you can limit the wattage going to whatever device power limit 3 is in this case TDP locks here as well nothing too special their ratios as expected you just manually set either the all core ratios we go to 50 if the CPU could support 50 I'm not sure if it does which is more CPU thin but CB ratio for all of them or you just manually enter over here there's a couple a couple changes that I think may still be in the pipe so we'll look at that more later rein ratio you also have which is good so we can set rein ratio and BC LK was in there as well but it is in one 100th of megahertz increments which is a bit different typically you have like 100 point one or 100 point five or whatever so this one is one one hundredth divide all your numbers accordingly and and same idea over all memory settings this is where motherboards really differentiate themselves in terms of overclocking support but 90% of users probably never really go through these so there is you just go default XMP as expected or custom and for custom there's not a I mean to call out a couple items here T RFC's in here TR efi is in here so those are both good things that you want to have access to for for overclocking purposes it's missing a couple of the really low-level sub timings but again it's not really the point of the board to target that type of thing so kind of up to you how important that is if it's really important than buy different motherboard but GT slice is in here that's not actually something we use very often or see very often that's for the integrated graphics voltages CPU voltages are present so you can auto set or you can go through a list rather than typing in right now you go through a list and point 0-5 increments all the weight I think it's all the way down yes point zero five all the way through to two volts which of course he should never set unless you're you really know you're doing with liquid nitrogen or liquid helium other than that vccs a so essays in here that's good I would like to see some more granularity in here or just manual typing of the number because one point six six one point six nine five kind of a big jump shouldn't really be going that high anyway typically once you're at there's no one point four zero either I'd like to see that that's about my stopping point for Si voltages because that's when things start to die very quickly IO goes all the way to I think it's pretty much where we want it yeah one no one point four zero and this one either or one point three five but it's got every other number in increments of 0.2 0.2 jiz are also present this is actually good I like this so it actually will instead of putting Auto at the top it puts Auto where the present voltage setting is for the dims which in this case is one point two one eight so we're getting Auto between one point in that general area just right here what technically would be it put red for it probably won't boot at this voltage yellow for it maybe you won't boot at this voltage because it's too low and on the opposite end of the scale the other way red or yellow because getting dangerous territory theoretically and this all motherboards do this to where they don't actually really know where it gets dangerous or not they just take a best guess this isn't just NZXT that's that's how everyone does it because it's unreasonable to assume otherwise so they're just giving you guidelines as and don't don't go red unless you know you're doing on quarters present so there's a non core voltage offset which is also good and that's really most of it so that's that's most the lower level settings there's I don't you can toggle multi monitor for the IGP you're not really going to be buying this board for mining so you don't need the 4gd code support because no one would buy a $300 board for mining with this that's clear they're not targeted for that advanced setting the CPU typical disable hyper threading change which cores are active there's some sea state stuff so you can mess around with that if you want to are just straight disable it elsewhere and I think might be a couple of hands fan control so this is kind of I like this at first I was kind of like wait a minute this is weird but if you think about it this board supports something like nine fans through the grid controller and so they've got a drop-down menu more or less where you can select each fan which is labeled according to the motherboard headers so this is preferable in this situation because if you had nine fans listed with every one of these settings four of those all the way down it'd be huge and taking forever to get through so I do like that choice a Seuss's gets a little bit difficult to navigate sometimes for that reason and then you can use cam to override everything else if you prefer going that route I don't know that there's a lot else to show in this BIOS I think that's pretty much most of it so there is uh there's per core overclocking if you want that couple chipset options and then you can just go back to the basic mode for the pre OC which we haven't haven't really looked at too much yet but it does apply NOC to individual cores which tells me it's probably a lookup table so a pretty standard for that and then we'll look at the rest as the show concludes here so we've got a full review coming eventually of the NZXT and seven for nowadays you look at BIOS pretty much most the options for kind of more casual users are there if you're looking for something no aesthetics focused and then we've talked to them about a couple of suggestions for more granularity and a couple of the existing options so well let you
