any hidden BIOS on Intel boards?

[balane]

Is there any hidden BIOS to get into on Intel boards? CTRL-F1 doesn't seem to change anything. Thanks.

There is just one BIOS on each board. You mean a hidden page of settings?

Yes, I meant can I access any settings not normally seen with an F2 BIOS entry. Thank you.

I can't get to bios screen with F2, I have to open case and switch jumper, play with bios, shutdown, replace jumper and then repower on.

I don't know if I have a KB problem, because I would swear I saw "F2" loads bios screen but it doesn't work for me.

*Edit* On my system I found by luck or accident if I " Esc" on boot it will freeze to Intel pressF2 to setup then will go to bios screen.

You can try to play with Intel's OEM Integrator Tool Kit, the DP965LT supports it:

Otherwise, WYSIWYG. Intel heavily customizes AMI BIOS, probably writes most of the modules itself. So you're not likely going to find a lot of hidden user-accessible settings as you might with a production or reference AMI BIOS. Of course the functionality is in there, just not in a user-accessible interface.

Are you sure you don't have f-lock turned on?
