Official GA-990FXA-UD3 F3 BIOs

Yes it is strange. We don't normally recommend the use of @BIOS as iot runs on top of the operating system and is therefore far more likely to go wrong or fail totally which will corrupt the BIOS. That is why we usually advise using QFlash utility instead. The only time when @BIOS is best is when QFlash wont accept the BIOS file because of the change of size ie when the file changed from 1MB to over 2MB because it changed from BIOS to EFI.

I cant recall if mine said checksum error, but i do remember seeing Checksum e000 and it still installed successfully, even cpu-z says f3 as my bios version.

F4 BIOS now up for UD3 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3894#bios

If a mod could edit OP i'd appreciate it.

It's ok just leave it as it is. No problem.

Should i go ahead with the update? Also, F3 is in @bios now, i think ill update and if anything goes wrong i will fall back onto dualbios restore

Just a quick update. I used @bios to update, it said current available bios was F3, but when everything was done bios said F4, not sure if that was a mistake but system boots up with no trouble. No visible changes in bios

Some of the changes made to BIOS versions are only small tweaks and unless you knew what to look for you probably wouldn't notice them. I don't know why the F3/F4 mix up but it doesn't matter as long as everything is working alright now.

So far so good. I would report back in a week or so, i had trouble with ssd freezing time to time and also, bios wouldnt go any further if on boot id press dell or f12 few times. But now seems to be okey. Thanks for all the help
