Earlier today, an intriguing 30-second-long video was uploaded to the Chinese Bilibili platform. A brief sequence seems to demonstrate a refreshed Gigabyte AORUS BIOS user interface, with familiar AMD technologies visible across multiple windows. The leaker is an amusingly named individual: "Coward Yin Zhiping." Their blog/channel shows a history of BIOS tweaking and overclocking across several brands. Fittingly, humor is injected into video descriptions—the latest upload is titled with deflection in mind: "ASUS hired aliens as designers; their new BIOS design is simply deadly." Hours later, Uniko's Hardware published their interpretation of Zhiping's leak. Screenshots show a completely new style of presentation, different from current iterations and Gigabyte's September previews—according to VideoCardz.

Diagnostic data indicates a platform based on Team Red's 800 chipset series. Specifically, an X870E AORUS MASTER X3D ICE board paired with a Ryzen 9 9900X processor, and 48 GB (2 x 24 GB) DDR5 (Hynix) memory. The supposed revised UEFI has "X3D 2.0" and "PBO" tuning features categorized under "Black technology." A new "Cookie score" seems to be a completely new addition—Uniko's Hardware believes that it is an: "(AI-powered) CPU quality assessment design by HiCookie, a legendary overclocker and engineer at GIGABYTE." Several discrepancies were highlighted by initial investigators, perhaps pointing to unfinished elements. The video and screengrabs show a months old session date: September 23, 2025.
