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

[LivingDust]

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?

I would flash straight to F10b, then clear the CMOS and then see if that helps alleviate the issue.

Unless stated otherwise in the BIOS notes, they should all have the same/necessary/incrementally beneficial microcode.
