My Mother board is the Gigabyte P35-DS3L . My bios version is F5. I want to upgrade my cpu . I have this cpu coming -Core 2 Quad Q9550 . It sure looks like i'm going to need the latest Bios . Is @Bios ok to use? I've been reading mixed reviews on it.
Q-flash is the better option. I haven't used @BIOS, but I'm old school so never flash from within windows. I either create a boot disk with the necessary flash utility on it or Q-flash.
It's relatively simple. Just make sure you don't lose power or reboot before the flash procedure is done. If @BIOS gives you an oppurtunity to backup your current bios, then do it!
