    Question Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H BIOS upgrade: OK to skip from F7 to F9? Or should I flash F8 first?

    I have a Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H BIOS currently at version F7: am hoping that the F8 or F9 BIOS might fix an issue with being able to boot from a PCI drive instead of only SATA drives. Will F9 have everything that is in F8? Can I just flash F9 or should I flash F8 first? Scott (AKA LivingDust)
