Sense its not an offical bios i highly doubt Gigabyte will say anything, usually have to look around for yourself.
Ram Profiles DRAM E.O.C.P (easy over clock profile) and Bank Swizzle mode are the only additions I saw.

easy over clock profile seems to either be Ram overclocking profiles where you can in theory overclock you current installed ram to higher settings/speed as if higher speed ram was installed or as I would think, just preset profiles for when you install higher speed ram.

Regarding Core unlocking, I have tried it with every version of bios for this board and had no problems in unlocking at leat one extra core.
I have to say that it increases heat in the cpu as is normal but did not make any difference to performance.
Right now I will stick with the 3.6GHz overclock at no cpu voltage increase.

Try running a stability test when you unlock it, I can unlock it too but it's unstable.

My 4th core in also unstable with the F3g BIOS. It worked fine on my 2 previous boards MSI 990FXA-GD65 (exchanged it for GA-990FXA-UD3) and GA-MA790GP-DS4H.

Dear XXXXX,

Thank you again for your kindly mail. We suggest you send your MB to your supplier for further examination, you can also ask them to test with another CPU which can support CPU unlock.

Regards,
GIGABYTE

They call this help? Is this about as useful as they get?

If this is true, then they should be ashamed of their selves. I don't know which MB vendor I can trust, Asus support is crap, MSI support is crap and even GIGABYTE support is crap. Omg I think I'm gonna be sick.

Yes I am afraid this is industry wide and that it why most people prefer to go to one of the forums to get help where there are members who do care.

I emailed Gigabyte tech and they asked where it was supoosed to be downladable from.
They say it is not official.
Also what is the point of a supposed bios for the GA-990FXA-UD3 version 1 board and said bios has only one visable extra setting and non visable touch bios support for a board that does not allow touch bios?
Also why release a bios for the 990FXA -UD3 that has a feature only for a rev 1.1 board that does not exist?
