BIOS Question!!
Hey guys, I'm new to these forums and I think they are great from what I've seen. I hope that you guys will be able to help me in some way with my question.
I recently built a new computer for myself, It is the first one that I have built from scratch and I'm quite proud with myself about it However I am a bit of a noob when it comes to certain areas. One of them is in relation to my BIOS. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-870-UD3 motherboard and it says that it's version 2.1 when I look on the board itself.
So I wanted to go to the Gigabyte website to find out what version to upgrade to, I've never flashed a BIOS before or anything like that so I am new to it. So I went to and typed GIGABYTE - Support & Downloads in and my Motherboard type,
When I did that GIGABYTE - Support & Downloads - Downloads <<<this page came up and I could see all the different versions. If you have a look you will see that there are versions 3.1 there aswell. My question is can I use the 3.1 version or can I only use 2.1?? If I use 3.1 will that upgrade my BIOS to 3.1??
Thank you guys for the answers and response =)
