Hi everyone you guys have been spot on since ive joined last week and my next query is about my motherboard. (GA-P55-UD3L rev. 1.0) Alright so my main goal here to get maxium performance from my system. I want to overclock my cpu but first i would like to update my bios to help avoid failure. I have never updated a bios and i have never overlclocked before. Overclocking isnt my question. I would like to know if someone would help me with a step by step to updating my specific board. I know im asking for a lot but i really dont want to screw up my new rig. And i also had a question about the revisions...are these just newer updates or is it a re-release of my board that is physicaly different or a different model all together with the same name? http://www.gigabyte.com.pr/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=3169 Product Page. I read around for a bit and im not really sure if i have to use a floppy or cd or if i can just install from OS.
System contents:
Windows 7 64-bit (7600 Build Activated)
i5 750 (all stock settings including turbo mode on)
4gb 1333 ddr3 ram (changed speeds from 9-9-9-24 to 8-8-8-21)
BFG gtx 260 oc 55
700w psu
Artic freezer pro 7? i believe heatsink.
Thanks for reading any tips trick or hints would be very much appreciated!!!
