Will flashing BIOS on Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH erase OCUK overclock profile?

As the title says, don't want to lose the overclock and start from scratch - also sorry if this isnt quite the correct thread for this question. Was looking to update my BIOS to the latest firmware due to a few recent BSODs, although I think a fresh install of windows fixed it, i'm still looking to update what I can to improve stability. Thanks

I think your best off writing all the settings down (or photographing each page of the bios) so you can put things back as they were just in case.

You'll have them anyway then, even if you have to rma your board.

Maybe there is a more elegant (save profile to bios?) solution though?

Edit: I think you can save to usb but it only works on exactly the same bios. If you've written your settings down you're good either way.

plug in a usb stick and pres f12 key to take screenshot pics of each bios page and overclock setting

Hi, sorry been away for a while. Just wanted to say thanks for the replies. The BSODs I was getting were reporting WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERRORs but since a re-install of the OS it's been fine since so i'm thinking it was OS related.

I will take photos before flashing as it seems that’s the safest option, next time i'll try and use some more common sense

Thanks again.
