Isn't that just fancy. Do all UEFI boards do this? "Full control of system settings with an exclusive graphical user interface in both the UEFI BIOS and Windows" or is this a MSI feature? I'm guessing it's MSI only.

As far as I'm aware its only the MSI boards, ASUS does do something kinda like it with there AI tweak but thats not like having the full BIOS like the MSI version.
