As opposed to the traditional concept of dual BIOS chips where one is a main BIOS and
the other one is a backup BIOS, GIGABYTE Extreme Dual BIOS technology contains two
different BIOS chips designed for separate purposes. GIGABYTE Extreme Dual BIOS
technology supports one-touch dual BIOS switching button to shift between two BIOSes,
SOC (Super Overclock Series) Default BIOS and LN
2
BIOS. SOC Default BIOS allows
gamers to build their dream machines to conquer digital battles on the web. LN
2
BIOS is
especially designed for overclockers to avoid potential cold bug issues at extremely low
temperatures. This feature equips selective GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series for
extreme overclockability to break world records at any competitions.
How to use?
An Extreme Dual BIOS switch is meant to prevent “cold-bug” boot errors when using
extreme cooling techniques such as liquid nitrogen, liquid helium and dry ice, etc.
GIGABYTE Extreme Dual BIOS switch is available on certain GIGABYTE Super Overclock
series graphics cards.
SOC Default BIOS. The factory default BIOS setting for Extreme-Dual-BIOS-ready SOC
graphics card is SOC Default when graphics card hits the shelf (indicated by blue LED
light, switch button pressed down).
LN
2
BIOS. For attempts of extreme overclocking, press button to switch from default
BIOS to the alternative LN
2
BIOS (indicated by red LED light, switch button up). Reboot
system to apply new BIOS settings.
*The “cold bug” is an issue occurred when a processor ceases functioning or
overclocking at a low (usually sub zero) temperature, preventing the use of extreme
cooling methods such as dry ice or liquid nitrogen.
Warning: Before start of extreme benching with LN
2
BIOS, make sure extreme overclocking
cooling accessories are ready.
Troubleshooting
If LN
2
BIOS is damaged during extreme benching, press switch button again go back to
factory default BIOS before rebooting system. SOC Default BIOS will serve as backup
BIOS.
*For system safety and stability, using SOC Default BIOS setting is highly recommended.
