Creation Station v4 BIOS changes: CS400v4
All v4 Creation Stations have Sweetwater’s optimized BIOS settings stored in an ‘ASUS overclocking profile’. These optimized settings can be restored by entering BIOS, navigating to the Tool\ASUS Overclocking Profile page, and loading profile 1. This is the recommended method of ensuring the BIOS is properly configured. Incorrect BIOS settings can cause the system’s failure to boot.
BIOS is accessed by repeatedly pressing the delete key for several seconds immediately after powering on the computer.
To set the BIOS date and time on all v4 Creation Stations, click on the gear shaped icon in the top left of the BIOS screen. This gear icon is always visible at the top left of the screen when in BIOS. Accurate date and time is vital to the stable function of the BIOS and computer.

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
