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.

Yes it works. You can even have your second bios activated after some bad adjustment in bios.
does my board have dual BIOS?, it says Virtual dual bios in the gigabyte site
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.
