Creation Station v4 BIOS changes: CS450v4

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.
