Dual BIOS RACING motherboards unveiled by BIOSTAR

BIOSTAR enhanced its RACING Series of motherboards with Dual BIOS feature to provide maximum system protection and also to meet the needs of enthusiasts and power users. With two physical BIOS chips, BIOSTAR motherboards allow two independent BIOS ROMs to be booted from. This provides a safety feature as well as a convenient tool for overclockers who might encounter system stability issues during system tweaking as well as troubleshooting possible issues caused by corrupted ROMs or a hardware failure.

BIOS viruses that may attack the ROM are also mitigated as one can fall back to the secondary BIOS for system recovery. Users may run different versions of BIOS ROMs independently for maximum compatibility.Biiostar Dual BIOS_CP

BIOSTAR RACING motherboards has a manual BIOS switch to toggling between ROMs. According to BIOSTAR, the manual switch helps to limit the possibility of corrupting the secondary BIOS with an automatic design. Other motherboards who utilize a dual-BIOS design utilize an automatic switching method which could potentially cause further issue when a corrupted BIOS or virus is automatically copied over to the backup BIOS. BIOSTAR’s manual switch design for its Dual BIOS implementation limits this issue by allowing each ROM to operate independently of each other.

The Dual BIOS technology can be found in BIOSTAR Racing series motherboards including the BIOSTAR RACING Z170GT7, RACING B150GT5 and RACING H170GT3.
