Folks, I am currently running a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4 Motherboard.Looking on the Gigabyte site I find there are a number of upgrades to the BIOS for this board. As I have never upgraded a BIOS before, I am a little confused as to how Gigabyte list the upgrades. I am on F2 and the latest is F9. Do I just install F9 to bring me up to date? Fairly elementary question I know but I wonder why Gigabyte go to the trouble to provide a download for each upgrade which may infer that you have to flash each upgrade to bring the BIOS up to date.As an aside, I wonder where the F4 upgrade went to!!!Any assistance to what most likely is a pretty dumb question, would be appreciated. I guess I get concerned with messing with the BIOS and would like to get it right first up.RegardsJock

As far as I recall there are two versions of this board. I have the earlier version with F8 BIOS.Yes you can just go from F2 to whatever. Make sure you follow all of the instructions to avoid chaos and that F9 is okay for you MB version.

To add: they include all the versions in between, because sometimes the latest and greatest BIOS can cause problems with a previously stable configuration. For example, I have remained with the F7 BIOS for my board, as it is the most stable I have used for overclocking.Gary

Thank you for your advice, Howard & Gary. As you have what looks like an identical board Howard, I will shoot for F8 and see how we go.RegardsJock
