▷ What we use load optimized defaults for

Sometimes, we modify the values of our BIOS, which can end in a monumental disaster. The motherboard manufacturers are aware of this reality, so they decided to incorporate the load optimized defaults option. Today, we will focus on it because we consider that it may be the life preserver that some of you need.

Let's get started!

What is load optimized defaults?

It is an option that we find in the BIOS and that serves to reconfigure it with the default values. One of its features is that the BIOS chooses which is the most favorable boot system for the system.

In other words, it returns the BIOS to its initial state. This feature is really handy for those who are experiencing issues on their system, whether it be boot, hardware compatibility or performance. In the end, it is best to return our motherboard to original condition to correct all errors.

Be careful with its use

However, choosing this option can cause boot problems because the system reconfigures everything, and may cause a conflict at startup. Many users have had problems using it, receiving notices such as " no device can be found ", etc.

Therefore, load optimized defaults can aggravate the problems we have in our BIOS, although it does not have to be this way. Logically, these are exceptional cases, but you have to inform yourself about them because they exist and are there.

Can better performance

This option can be especially relevant when we have a motherboard with a mid-range chipset - high that improves performance. It sounds strange, but it usually happens.

Although its main function is to return our BIOS to normal, we can find the possibility of optimizing the performance of our equipment, choosing the most recommended options. Obviously, with this option, we are not going to receive an OC configuration "pro ", but rather the BIOS is configured in a reduced way to achieve better performance.

Rarely will we see changes in voltages or latencies when we activate load optimized defaults. When we activate automatic boost settings we usually get a performance greater than 10% or 15% compared to the original.

As modifying voltages or latencies is somewhat more complex, manufacturers do not get into it and leave the user to "touch" assuming the risk on their own.

"It has not helped me to return my BIOS to the original state"

Faced with the need to reset or restore the factory default BIOS settings, many users choose to use this method. However, it may not be sufficient to achieve this end. Therefore, we will have to resort to other methods.

There are three main methods to reset our BIOS. We will simply mention them because we have developed them in this (insert article link, reset BIOS) article. They are as follows:

Go to the BIOS and choose the option " Restore default values " or similar. Remove the CMOS battery to power down the motherboard and reset the BIOS. Modify the CMOS jumper in case the previous method does not work.
