AMD FX9370 with GA-990XA-UD3 Compatible ?

[The Glitch]

I just Bought AMD FX9370 and GA-990XA-UD3 (rev. 3.0) yesterday thinking they both are compatible with each other .The PC Booted up after I assembled everything but when I checked BIOS config I found that CPU is working on a freq 3.8GHz. First i thought it needed some BIOS update but when i checked Gigabyte Website I found that my BIOS is up to date (BIOS ver. FD) and then i rechecked CPU compatibility list to find out FX9370 is not on the list
I spent hours searching for the right Motherboard and i recall reviewing many CPU support lists on Gigabyte website before i buy this one. Well I got confused between this one and another which is the GA-990FXA-UD3 , you see the model is nearly the same , I admit i was wrong not to make sure it was the exact same one i looked up but i guess whats done is done

Now i want to know if there is any way to fix this without having to return the motherboard and buy another one , and if there is a way what are the risks of doing it if there's any ?

And if i did have to return the motherboard (which will be a really long process) I found there are 2 versions of GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev. 4.0 and rev. 3.0).According To Gigabyte there is one which support this CPU (4.0) and the other doesn't (3.0) giving the fact there is many forums saying it does whatsoever. I'm not sure I'm going to find rev. 4 on the market I'm dealing with at the moment so will there be any chance rev. 3 is going to work fine with CPU at the normal freq ??

CPU stock freq : 4.4GHZ
Current BIOS version : FD
CPU: AMD FX9370
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 (rev. 3.0)

The FX 9370 is a hot chip I would send that motherboard back and get one that is compatible with that cpu it's going to need to be power right and a none compatible board will only give you trouble if you take short cuts.
