Although it doesn't say anything about the AGESA code I would think that the F7h BIOS (available here: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3891&dl=1#bios ) carries the updated version.

If not then autotech's advice to contact Tech Support is the best way to go.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Got a reply from tech support :-  F7h bios already has AGESA1.1.0.2 code and downcore option for AM3+ CPU support.

this is an extract ,read from the code within the F7H BIOS.
Simply opened with notepad ,and a quick word search for agesa shows; giga\CIMX\AGESA1102a\Addendum\Debug\B1\Agesa_B1_Target.dll.pdb               Uª  SSDT     AMD   POWERNOW   AMD    SLIT     AMD   AGESA      AMD    SRAT     AMD   AGESA      AMD               0123456789ABCDEF0000AGESA   V1.1.0.2

hope that helps.
