The rules for all of this are set to suit the loading conditions which is why I advise people to leave most of this stuff alone. If it were up to me, most of this stuff would be removed from UEFI and software as it encourages people toward misadventure of settings they are not equipped to understand. A lot of these settings require a real background in electronics to grasp - no matter how much we try to explain on forums, we cannot make up for the shortfall in knowledge requirements for people to truly grasp the subject. A lot of this explains why university courses have pre-requisite qualification requirements.

There is a tendency with products from Taiwan, Japan and Korea to have "lots of buttons", "lots of features", even if half of them are redundant or make little/no difference. If you look at a UK stereo amplifier 20-30 years ago, you would often not even find tone controls incase they degrade the sound. But a Japanese amplifier from the same era was littered with buttons, knobs or even an EQ. I understand completely what you are saying. I have a grasp of electronics and have built and assembled many circuits in my time. But with a motherboard, there is a particular focus on specific electronic engineering aspects which many wouldn't have a clue about.

I am curious how many R5E users actually get a multimeter, oscilloscope out onto those solder/contact points on the MB? It's a cool feature, but I would question how many serious overclockers would use it, or know what it's telling them (beyond just seeing voltage dips/spikes etc).
