Title: Where to buy updated BIOS Chip
Post by: Lobuhh on July 04, 2017, 12:21:17 am

For GA-X79-UD3
Need to updade BIOS to F16, its on F3 (ou of the box).

Cant get a supported F3 version BIOS CPU, so this is my only option.

Even more because Gigabyte eSupport cant tell me what CPUs are supported by F3 BIOS... Been waiting for a month..

So yeah, where can I buy one? Soldering is not a problem

 These two should work i7-3820 & i7-3930K. I had that same board The 3820 was the one I started with when the board first came out.
