Title: When will arrive updated BIOS with new AGESA for all 970/990 motherboards???
Post by: jacqlittle on September 05, 2014, 02:12:52 pm

I own a GA-970A-UD3 rev. 1.2 and i see there isn't any update for supporting new AMD FX Vishera 8320E/8370/8370, but other motherboards models like GA-970A-UD3P which i think is very simmilar to mine, has new BIOS and mine not...

Please Gigabyte, update BIOS for all motherboards like mine, that i think there are many users interested in upgrade his processors.

Thanks in advance.

You might be out of luck because your board maybe looks like that other board.  But your board series has new rev 3.0 that supports those cpu.

So more likely they are not even going to do any with your board.  You could email them and ask if the have a beta bios.

I had GA-990FXA-UD5 rev 1.0 it is a little newer than your's and they are not going to update the bios to support those CPU's. I have to go to rev 3.0 board.

I'm not interesting in buying another motherboard, I think Gigabyte has the obligation of giving a good support for their products.

There is only one problem with this all the other mother boards companies are about the same  :( They all get to a point when they stop supporting the boards

I buy this motherboard only a year ago, and other manufacturers like ASUS, etc. give support for their products much more time of course...

Bad Gigabyte!!!

By what the CPU list your board does support Vishera CPU's. You have to be running the F7 or F8a Beta Bios.

Dear Customer,

Unfortunately we've not finished the new FX-8370 CPU  validation on the rev 1.x board at the moment, please allow a week or two.

Thank you.

So i think you board probaly will have   new bios too.We must wait, and see...
