Gigabyte board BIOS upgrade - need instructions

@DrCarl, no need to do a step upgrade (upgrade from successive versions). Just get the latest version and update with that. It will have the fixes from the previous updates so no need for 1,2,3.

After the update, you'll want to go into the BIOS and hit "Load Optimized defaults" as this will insure your BIOS is configured for the hardware installed. In fact the owner's manual suggests doing so anytime a BIOS update or CMOS battery replacement is done.

If you have any custom BIOS settings you'll need to reconfigure them after the update as they aren't saved with the new update. Also why you need to at do the "Load Optimized defaults" thing.

Please see section 4.2 (page 72) of your owner's manual. Please make sure you follow the onscreen instructions and DO NOT TURN OFF THE PC while the update is progressing unless told to do so!!!

And yes, use the Q-Flash method. it's the one I've been using since getting my first of 5 Gigabyte boards. In fact I have the GA-X58A-UD5. My latest boards are listed in my system specs.

 

Should I update bios?

I would read the warranty before doing anything. If the manufacturer finds out you did something not on their approved list of steps,for example using a program they didn't list, or a bios, etc, they can treat your video card rma like you threw it against the wall , because if something goes wrong and you didn't follow their steps exactly ,it was damaged through human error and they're not likely going to be obligated to cover it warranty wise. I don't know for sure, I just advocate that you check first , and I also advocate that you verify that it's an actual update ,because very rarely do manufacturers release updates for gpu bios'. And they most certainly wont cover a GPU "update" if its a bios file written by some dude in the Ukraine, it has to be a set process, they have predetermined often.

The chip will feature in a new, improved Wolfdale-2M core, spec'd out as the R0 stepping, from its current M0 stepping. The new stepping is intended to add new instructions, power-management features, and bring about changes in the chip-package. A short list of known changes is as follows:

• CPUID changed from 10677 to 1067A
• Power State Indicator (PSI) support with Intel 4 series chipsets
