Question Can I revert the BIOS back to the first version ?

[Lucaas_GTI]

Hello, I have a Gigabyte GA-H97-Gaming 3 and I have it on the latest BIOS version but I would like to go back to the first version to be able to do oc because oc was allowed in the first version as I understand it.
I went to the official website to see the bios versions and in the notes for version F6 it says that you cannot go back to earlier versions. I would like to know if someone can help me.

which CPU do you have?
which hardware revision of the motherboard is it?

I have an i5-4690k and I don't know what the hardware revision of the motherboard is.

Im not sure about gigabyte, you should be able to download the old bios, stick it on a flash drive and try to update the bios like normal in the bios, and if it works it will update to the older bios, if not it'll complain and wont let you do it. As far as I know, you can downgrade the bios within windows.

Good Luck!
