Q-Flash Plus Button
Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS when your system is off (S5 shutdown state). Save the latest
BIOS on a USB thumb drive and plug it into the dedicated port, and then you can now flash the BIOS
automatically by simply pressing the Q-Flash Plus button. The Q-Flash Plus button will flash when the BIOS
matching and flashing activities start and will stop flashing when the main BIOS flashing is complete.
OC Ignition button
The OC Ignition button allows overclockers and DIY users to pre-test water cooling setups when building
up their computers without needing to boot the system. It also allows the system fans to keep spinning
at a low temperature and allows for a firmware update even without a CPU installed. Visit GIGABYTE's
