Yep, force flashed a beta BIOS with a bad checksum the other day.
I rebooted, didn't work. Rebooted again, and the second BIOS took over; had to flash back to my most recent working version as the backup BIOS was a bit old, but it was a hell of a lot better than bricked board.
Can you manually select which BIOS you want to use, and then flash them separately (for example, to test a new BIOS version)? And if primary BIOS gets corrupted, can you recover it by re flashing, after you boot up using the backup?

i don't think you can. theres 2 physical bios = 1 is named main and 1 is named back up. back up cannot be overwriten.
was just asking cause alot of companys like to do gimmicks now a day to make a sale. just wanted to be sure its a proven feature.
