Question about my Gigabyte mobo(rev.1.0 or 1.1?)

[JohnD13]

So I' ll be getting the Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H motherboard for a custom build. I will have to download some drivers from Gigabyte' s website after I install windows 7 but when I go to their website there are two "versions" of this mobo:rev. 1.0 and rev. 1.1. Which one should I choose to download the drivers I need? Or maybe there will be an indication on the motherboard(or manual) when I get it?
Any help will be appreciated.

You'll need to get the version that matches your motherboard. This can be a pain in the ass. I had an old GA-P35C-DS3R that had three revisions. Had to look at the pictures of each revision on the Gigabyte page to find out which revision my board was.

Hmm it' s indeed really annoying but I' ll try to do what you said.

Is there no other way to figure that out?

Try googling "which XXXX motherboard revision do I have" and see if that helps.

a 1.0 or 1.1 will be stamped in one of the corners of the MB

I got the motherboard and it is as you said-it' s a rev.1.0. Thanks for the replies everyone!

that's an easy one, Gigabyte put the rev number in the left botton of the board, near the PCI Express ...
