gigabyte 970a ud3

[srymal]

hi, I just built my first computer and I went to the gigabyte website for drivers. there is a driver update, but also 2 bios updates. One of the bios updates is rev 1.2, the other is rev 3.0. Which one is better, and how do I update the bios? Do I just download and install or do I need a flash drive to do it?

Get the latest update, they prob have a variety of ways to update, may allow through Win, burn an ISO cd or through a thumbdrive (flash drive)...should have full directions on the site

"rev 1.2, the other is rev 3.0." refer to the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) revision number. It is printed on the motherboard itself in the lower left corner.

I would use a flash drive to update the BIOS.
