Hi all, just updated my mobo and had a few issues, so flashed it again to a previous none beta version (still newer than my standard one)
Also reinstalled windows, will I need to reinstall the gigabyte drivers?
Also is installing an older version ok?

BIOS updates do not delete or modify drivers, no need to reinstall them.

Never use beta versions of BIOS updates (or driver updates either). They are unfinished versions for testing purposes and bug reporting only, on a spare computer you don't mind screwing up.

Worth remembering also is that you should never update BIOS or a driver simply because there is a newer version.
If computer is working okay, leave existing BIOS & driver versions as they are.

Only update them to fix a specific problem you're experiencing, or to add a new feature or new hardware support that you need.
