Default Change temp shown in BIOS from centigrade to fahrenheit

I want to change the temp that shows in my BIOS from centigrade to fahrenheit.

I tried contacting American Megatrends, but they only accept business emails ?

Thanks,
Andy

WTF for ? Centigrade is the norm for 95% of the world's
population.
Centigrade 0 freezing 100 boiling. Can't get much simpler than
that .....

No it's not.

Fahrenheit is standard for the U.S. and it's more than 5% of the population.

Have a look at the BIOS on my motherboard.

It's an AMI too.

By displaying both standards simultaneously, that keeps a few customers happy.

And there are lots of temperature scales.

Silly me. Thinking that if you can't do divide by 5 times 9
plus 32 in your head you would be able to calculate the percentage of
