g1snipera88x has F2 bios. i need F5 bios. I downloaded F5 extracted it and saved to kingston se9 flash drive. 3 files. qflash reads the file and says that F2 bios is more current and stops there
 
Solution
The second part of this link shows how to use the EFIflash Tool.

To update the BIOS from F2 to F5 you need to use with the EFI Flash tool included in the F5 BIOS zip file. Then in the future you ill be able to use either the Q-Flash or the EFI Flash tool.

Alternatively, the motherboard can be exchanged for one with an updated bios. It depends on where you bought it.
