GIGABYTE motherboards provide two unique BIOS update tools, Q-Flash

™

and @BIOS

™

. GIGABYTE Q-Flash

and @BIOS are easy-to-use and allow you to update the BIOS without the need to enter MS-DOS mode.

Additionally, this motherboard features the DualBIOS

design, which enhances protection for the safety and

stability of your computer by adding one more physical BIOS chip.
