Yea I use a USB stick to store BIOSes (must be formatted FAT32) and save my CMOS using the same stick.
I found yet ANOTHER BUG with the BIOS using this method though....
If you reset the CMOS and try the enter the BIOS with your flash drive attached (containing only a BIOS and .CMO CMOS file) it will hang on detecting the drive....you must remove it, hard boot, then boot into your OS, insert the drive, reboot, and it will work.
Meh
You can also store to the profiles on the OC backup program . There are two.


Man I really want to go higher on my board! I'm only loading at 50-57C at 3.6! I don't know why I can't post higher than 400 MHz....this is seriously killing me....

Simplest is just to flash from floppy w/ EZ-Flash, drag and drop to floppy and only inser just before entering EZ-Flash menu.

This mobo is very pick with RAM deviders and especially if in the black slots. Move to white slots to get more stable for DDR1150 or 1200. Also, for the higher FSB OC, try 1:1 to eliminate the devider instability issue and see what that gets you. I get 500FSB easy with very little effort over that of 450 - 475 settings.

I am on a test devider for 475x8 @ 4:5, DDR1180 @ 5-5-5-15 but @ 2.32v. and it scores more in Everest RAMBench but doesnt feel all that better then 500x7, 1:1 DDR1000 @ 4-4-4-12. Pluss I dont like having to give the Tracers that much volts

Just my thoughts

Well I'm running 4Gb so I can't switch slots....they're all full!
I wasn't aware that there was divider issues, so I'll try running the RAM 1:1 and see what happens....


Oh yea, I haven't used floppy disks in years! I just keep one of my older USB flash drives in the back of my PC for flashing. This mobo actually has onboard memory for saving profiles too.
