Ok here are the results. In order to try and get the most accurate comparison I kept all variables as consistent as possible.
As mentioned before, first 45 mins after cold boot up system was left idling for 45 mins before running benchmarks. Shut it down after to cool off for an hour before testing a different Bios. Used same procedure for all four Bioses.
