New PC posted! In Bios.......now what?

[92hatchattack]

Hey guys. New system just booted up and posted. Specs are as follows.

Asus 270E mb
7700k
G.Skill Tridend Z @3000
960 evo
thermaltake ultimate 3.0

Running nice and cool at 27C at idle. Fans spinning and pretty led's working.

So now what? Are there any changes I need to make in this Bios right now? I'm not worried about OC'ing yet,but is there something I need to do to get the ram up to speed? Its only showing 2133. Do I need to enable XMB?

Any help or guidance to useful adjustments before I install windows would be helpful.

Thanks gang!

So far, so good.
I had to enable XMP on my mobo to get the full 3200 Mhz out of my RAM.
Try it on yours as well.
Also make sure your SATA drive is set up for AHCI

^^^ As I am a total newb to all this, I am not 100% sure what XMP actually is. Is there any danger in enabling it?

if the mb and ram speed cant be set all that happen is the mb will reboot a few times till it falls back to 2100 speed.

if your boot drive is a ssd in boot screen set the bios to efi and turn off the older legacy boot. the only other thing is check bios rev of the mb see if it up to date and all needed updates are installed.
