Question H310 S2H BIOS UPDATE

[Dubkiss]

Hi fellas, i want to update my BIOS to newest driver but im not sure which i need to download because on GIGABYTE site you can choose between 2 versions of motherboard ( rev. 1.x and rev. 1.1 )
current version is probably FN which on GIGABYTE support driver is for 1.1 not 1.x
So is my motherboard version 1.1 ?

If you take a look at your motherboard, just above the PCI-E slots, it will state which version of the board you have.

Hi again, it says its rev 1.2

First of all I guess you are talking about H310M S2H? And not H310 S2H. Be careful here, having wrong name of board is recipe for disaster when updating BIOS (while its not a problem here because there is no H310 S2H but imagine it were!)
Second, all revisions but 1.0 seem to share same BIOS list. And they all state that starting BIOS for rev 1.2 is FO. So how come your rev 1.2 board has FN?
Third, for some reason rev 1.2 does not appear on global Gigabyte page. But it does for example on Polish version (link).

First off, thanks to @DRagor for pointing out the discrepancy! Getting the correct motherboard model number if VITAL!
Assuming that you meant the H310M S2H version of the board, this link shows the version 1.2 board as starting with BIOS version FO and for security purposes, users should upgrade to version FP.

BIOS can be a tricky thing, so I'd probably recommend having both versions of BIOS (FO and FP) downloaded to separate USBs. If the FP install fails, there is still a chance you can revert to the FO version.

Don't get me wrong, I did not doubt your words, it's just that it should have FO version not FN - maybe you have some early production unit, those sometimes come with earlier BIOS versions. Btw, don't use Gigabyte software to check or update BIOS. Always do that from within the BIOS itself.
