Different BIOS settings for different (hotswap) installs on same system, is it possible?

I have a Gigabyte z97mx Gaming 5 with a hotswap setup and multiple installs.

I'm in the process of overclocking my system to the absolute edge that it can go. This is for my gaming install.

The thing is, performance for my games is clearly better with C states disables, hyper threading off and power management to performance in windows.

When I power up my "work" installs, which I would like to leave on a lot of the time, I'd rather not be running at full voltage, full clock speed and so on. I also wouldn't mind hyper threading enabled, as I'm sure it gets used by windows when needed.

Is there any way to create alternate BIOS settings for alternate boots on the same system? Some kind of boot manager perhaps?

thanks for reading.

OK so I can essentially map a bunch of settings to one option in bios, instead of having to change all settings every time I want to switch? (or leave it on OC).

Could you give me a clue what to look out for in my MB as to what the profile setting is generally called?

Thanks, this should prove helpful. I was already thinking of the most efficient way to change one or 2 settings on a work day. Such as enable C states only and have the power profile balanced in Windows.

EDIT; I think I have found it --- "save profile" "load profile"... obviously ;)

Haven't tested yet but makes sense this is what I need, thanks!
