    Award BIOS Settings Backup?

    Hi, I've tried to find programs that allow me to save the current BIOS settings I've setup into a file so they can be restored if the BIOS gets cleared
    I have been unable to find any such utils (some very recent mobos have the options in the BIOS tho, like my Maximus Formula)

    But is it not possible to edit what setting get used when the "load optimized defaults" is selected in the BIOS?
    I had a look with MODBIN6 but could not find the option to do it tho
    The mobo in question is an old Epox 8RDA3+ with Award BIOS v6.00PG

    sounds like you want genie bios like on DFI boards - you can save four different profiles for different settings - i think other board vendors should do this...

    DFI Lanparty NF2 Ultra B
    TICTAC 619XT Bios
    AMD Athlon XP-M 2600+ FQQ4C IDYHA I-Stepping
    Speeze Vulture spin 3 Heatsink and Fan
    2x Mushkin XP4000 1024m DDR500 (1:1) @ 2.5-3-2-8 1T
    GeForce FX 5700 256m
    Zalman VF900 CU GPU cooler
    Skyhawk 400W Aluminium psu
    Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000 case fans

      I use MODBIN6 to configure the Optimal and Safe settings on client BIOS for KG7-era boards. I've not done this with current boards, due to fear of MODBIN6 not knowing how to handle current BIOS. It has been a long time...

      The editing process is somewhat tedious, but self-explanatory as you go through each settings. You *must* do this in a pure MS-DOS environment and FAT32 hard disk. When you are all done, you save to a .BIN file that you can load (flash) into the BIOS. IIRC, it creates a copy on the hard disk, then reloads it back to the chip.

        Oh ok, I'll have to have another look then
        Guess I just missed where to do it...

          Ahh yea, now I get how it works
          Mobo modded fine, I changed all the values under "SETUP DEFAULT" in MODBIN6 to my liking
          It works great!
          And on second notice it helped a bit to swap the 3v Lithium battery on the mobo too, it was completely dead

          Ahh well, more beer, yes please
