Hello everyone,

Intel is interested in creating short support videos that cover topics or issues that you care the most.

Just to name a few examples:

• In Arc Control what is the "Opt in Driver Boost" feature and how does it work?
• How to report issues to Intel Support? Common troubleshooting tips.
• How to configure collage mode in IGCC.

We want to hear your suggestions so feel free to respectfully voice your ideas and requests and they may get done soon!

Best Regards,

How to enable rebar in bios / disable csm and other helpful tips setting up intel arc for maximum performance.  A basic troubleshooting / setup video guide.

Enabling rebar and disabling CSM (Compatibility Support Module) in BIOS settings can indeed enhance the performance of Intel Arc GPUs and ensure compatibility with modern hardware standards. Here's a basic guide for setting up Intel Arc for maximum performance, including these steps:

1. **Accessing BIOS/UEFI**: Restart your computer and press the designated key (often Del, F2, F10, or Esc) during boot-up to enter the BIOS or UEFI settings.

2. **Finding Rebar (Resizable BAR) Option**: Navigate through the BIOS/UEFI interface to locate the Rebar option. Depending on your motherboard manufacturer and BIOS version, it might be under different names such as "Resizable BAR," "Above 4G Decoding," or "Re-Size BAR Support." Enable this option.

3. **Disabling CSM (Compatibility Support Module)**: CSM is a compatibility support feature that allows the system to boot in legacy BIOS mode. Disabling CSM ensures full UEFI compatibility, which is beneficial for modern hardware and software. Look for CSM or Legacy Boot options and set them to "Disabled" or "UEFI Only."

4. **Saving Changes and Exiting**: Once you've made these changes, save your settings and exit the BIOS/UEFI interface. Typically, this involves pressing F10 or selecting the option to save and exit.

5. **Driver Installation**: Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your Intel Arc GPU. Visit the official Intel website or use their driver update tool to ensure you have the latest drivers.

6. **Overclocking (Optional)**: If you're comfortable with it, you can overclock your Intel Arc GPU for additional performance. However, be cautious and ensure proper cooling and stability testing.

7. **Monitoring and Benchmarking**: Use monitoring software like MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z to monitor temperatures, clock speeds, and other relevant metrics. You can also run benchmarking software like 3DMark to gauge the performance improvements.

For creating a troubleshooting/setup video guide, consider the following tips:

- **Clear and Concise Instructions**: Keep your instructions clear and easy to follow. Use step-by-step guidance and avoid jargon where possible.

- **Visual Aids**: Incorporate screenshots or video clips of BIOS/UEFI settings and relevant processes to assist viewers in understanding.

- **Demonstration**: Show the actual process of accessing BIOS/UEFI settings, making changes, and saving them. This helps visual learners understand better.

- **Troubleshooting Tips**: Include troubleshooting tips for common issues users might encounter during the setup process.

- **Safety Precautions**: Remind users to be cautious, especially when overclocking, and to ensure proper cooling and stability testing to avoid hardware damage.

- **Q&A Section**: Consider adding a Q&A section or addressing common questions viewers might have regarding the setup process.

By following these steps and tips, you can create a comprehensive video guide for setting up Intel Arc GPUs for maximum performance and troubleshooting potential issues.
