AMI Aptio BIOS

Follow the guide for your motherboard.

TPM 2.0 Secure Boot UEFI Virtualization
i Before changing settings

Menu names depend on the model and BIOS version. Check your board manual and change only the listed settings.

Check the boot mode first: Win + R → msinfo32. If BIOS Mode is Legacy, prepare Windows for UEFI before disabling CSM, or the system may fail to boot.

If device encryption or BitLocker is enabled, save your recovery key first. Do not clear TPM or delete Secure Boot keys. Restoring factory keys is not suitable for every setup, especially with multiple operating systems.

This guide covers basic BIOS settings. If the anti-cheat separately requests IOMMU, VBS or a firmware update, follow the instructions for that error.

FACEIT requirements

AMI Aptio is a firmware family, not a motherboard model. For X79 / X99, first check TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and anti-cheat compatibility. Windows 10 does not remove the TPM 2.0 requirement. Use documentation and firmware for your exact board.

Entering BIOS

How to open your motherboard settings.

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. At the boot screen, press Delete, as described in this AMI guide.
  3. The text-based AMI Aptio interface opens with horizontal tabs at the top.
  4. Use arrow keys to navigate, Enter for submenus and Escape to go back.

Virtualization

Enable processor virtualization support.

In these BIOS versions, virtualization may be outside the standard Advanced tab.

  1. Go to IntelRCSetup (or Chipset, depending on BIOS version).
  2. Open Processor Configuration.
  3. Find Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VMX / VT-x).
  4. Set it to Enabled.

If IntelRCSetup is missing, look in Advanced → CPU Configuration or Chipset → Processor Configuration. Names vary by firmware.

TPM 2.0

Enable your computer's security module.

For TPM-capable boards (newer AM4 / LGA 1700 models from Maxsun, Soyo, Onda):

  1. Go to the Advanced tab.
  2. Open Trusted Computing.
  3. Find Security Device Support.
  4. Set it to Enabled.
  5. If a TPM type selector is available: Intel PTT for Intel.
  6. For AMD: AMD fTPM / Firmware TPM.

For X79 / X99 boards (Huananzhi, Machinist, Jingsha, Qiyida):

  1. The Trusted Computing section may be absent.
  2. If the section exists but TPM is not detected, check motherboard, CPU and firmware compatibility with the manufacturer.
  3. Update BIOS; manufacturers sometimes add support in newer firmware.
  4. If TPM 2.0 is not detected, check your motherboard documentation. Windows 10 does not remove FACEIT's TPM 2.0 requirement.

UEFI mode and CSM

Prepare the boot mode for Secure Boot.

If Windows boots in Legacy mode, prepare the switch to UEFI first. Do not disable CSM without checking this.

  1. Go to the Boot tab.
  2. Find CSM Support (or Boot Mode).
  3. Set it to Disabled (or UEFI).

Disabling CSM may prevent a Legacy Windows installation from booting. If needed, return to BIOS and re-enable CSM.

Secure Boot

Enable Windows Secure Boot.

  1. Go to the Security (or Boot) tab.
  2. Find Secure Boot.
  3. Find Secure Boot Support (or Secure Boot).
  4. Set it to Enabled.
If Secure Boot will not activate

If Secure Boot is enabled but inactive:

  1. Change Secure Boot Mode from Standard to Custom.
  2. Open Key Management.
  3. Find Default Key Provisioning → Enabled. Or select Restore Factory Keys / Install Factory Default Keys → confirm.
  4. Save with F10 and restart.

On some boards, Secure Boot may be locked: the option is visible but grayed out. In that case:

  • Update BIOS to the latest version.

Save settings

Apply changes and restart.

  1. F10 → OK / Yes → Restart.

Check the result in Windows

Only check off items you have verified on your computer.
