When will there be a bios that is NOT in beta?

When will there be a bios that is NOT in beta?
« on: February 03, 2011, 07:32:26 pm »
I have the Gigabyte GA-M720-US3. And for nearly a year i have had to have beta bios. No major issues, besides a wired power up issue if i unplug the computer. There was the f7k now i have the f7n. Before that there was the F6. When is the F7 coming and why do there only seem to be betas?
Thanks.

Hi

I would suspect that it is simply an oversight and the final version hasn't been verified. I don't think it is likely that a new BIOS will be wrtten for the board unless there suddenly becaomes a major issue. Is there any reason you don't like beta BIOSes? I have been using them for years and no real problems.

no not really, i know it's an old AM2 board but would be nice to have the final bios out of beta because surely beta means a test before the final version.

When we all get to heaven!

I'll meet you in the Gigabyte corner to confirm!

So sorry, no MSI, ASUS, or EVGA owners will be up there...very unfortunate but their motherboards weren't good enough!
