GIGABYTE Z77-DS3H (rev 1.1) BIOS Update - What and How to do?

[Asafkur13]

Hello,
My BIOS version is F8.
Visiting this page: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4326#bios I see that there are BIOS updates.
I would love to get an explanation what exactly is it, how and if I should do it, what will it give me?

Would really appreciate getting help on this one,
Thank ahead guys!

Well first off there is a description of what each particular bios version addresses beside it.
F9(microcode) which are cpu instructions is the only one I would bother with.
The rest are betas.
Download the @bios utility and the update is done on your desktop with the os running.

I just keep getting the message that the file is corrupted or damaged. :\

** EDIT:
Just managed to download it from another source.
Installed the F9 version for the BIOS. Now I'll be restarting it.

Thank you my friend!
