I'm on bios F32 and would like to update to newest bios F51. Anyone know whether I need to follow the steps detailed under BIOS F40 description first or can I go straight to F51?
I'm using 2400G but want to install 3600.Well it looks like 32 was the minimum requirement for all and possibly 51d and 51 don't even have that requirement? Seems you should be fine. Though i would do the EC FW Update Tool thing as it looks to be updating some other chip on the board, very confusing! What cpu are you using?
That's what I did after hearing horror stories of people bricking their board. It's irresponsible of Gigabyte not to include that info under F51. Who looks at the bios you are flashing from? I'm sure most people just find the latest bios and flash.Yes, you MUST do the FW upgrade first, before going to the latest version, if you don't then you will get issues.
So its: F31 (or lower) -> F32 -> FW upgrade tool -> F40 -> Latest (F51)
