Yes.

At the bottom of the OC Tweaker menu there are 3 "slots" for you to save different profiles.

What does intel ME do? I never bothered to install it, after I did a fresh windows install.

as anyone upgraded to 2.10 yet with a SB chip?

it says "After you finish updating this BIOS, please reboot your system. Please only flash newer versions of BIOS in the future."

so can't downgrade after?

I did today...worked a treat, But I always **** myself when I do a bios update

...managed to overclock my SB I7 2600k to 4.5 (air).

Haven't you oced it before with old bios?
