Can you recover corrupted Bios with Q-Flash Ultra?

[Paingamesyt]

Did buy MB with this option so i wanted to know can you recover bios in case power outage goes off while bios update. 

 

Is Q-Flash Plus intended for recovery bios in case something happen while updating?

In theory you can. In practice it's a bit more spotty, but the 2 times I've had to do it (because I was doing idiotic things like doing a BIOS update in a thunderstorm and with an incredibly unstable overclock set in the BIOS, it's rare you'd need to do this once in your life if you try to be careful with it) it's worked.

I just need to know can you recover bios with Q-Flash. I did read on internet that its not 100% success but if its 1 out of 10 try success then i'm fine with this. 

 

My last MB did go because of bios and i want to have a little less stress with knowing i can recover bios if something goes to hell.

Yeah, it can do it. It's probably somewhere around an 80% success rate, though I don't know of anyone with hard numbers for that so it's just a guess.

Q Flash lets you update the bios say when you got a incompatible CPU or during a bios corruption. The thing is most USB flash drives don't have any activity indicator so you won't know whether the flashing is finished or not. This makes people assume, well it's over 15 minutes, so it must be done. Some Gigabyte board have a Q Flash LED to show when the job is completed.

Q Flash is not meant for updating bios, when your system is working fine. For that, update from inside the bios, where it lets you see the progress on your screen.
