Could you tell me the BIOS version? I need the one with F4.

Check the Gigabyte web site. The board version and BIOS version together will determine if you can use this board for the processor you are using. The Gigabyte web site will provide the last word on it. My BIOS is F3 and works for everything I do. I have not updated it since I set up my system. Did not need to. Hope this helps.

I was in the same position as you. It did not come with the most recent bios but it actually worked with the i7-4790k. You should be fine. If this is for a Hackintosh, I would he wary of this board as mine keeps freezing when I have more than 8gb of ram and the built in Bluetooth and wifi caused me a bunch of problems. Otherwise it is a great board.

Exactly. Asus Bios managment makes it a snap. Verify before updating you may already have the lastest installed.

I updated to latest bios using the usb flash bios feature. Followed instructions in the manual. It was easy and worked great!

Not sure what build version it is since I can't find the original specs and disc it came with. I also had to change my PC 2 months ago so I haven't re-installed on the hard drive. Sorry.

Bought mine in October, 2013. It is Rev. 1.0. The bios, drivers and utilities need to be updated from the ones on the disk included with the Rev 1.0 MB. Just go to the ASUS website and compare the dates of the updated stuff with the dates on the disk files. You'll be good to go! Great board imho.

I have not over clocked mine, but it is a dual bios, one of the bios you can not change, the other you can mess with it all you want. So if you tweak it too much and do some setting that makes it not want to work, you flip a switch on the card to the factory bios and your back in action.

No it does not. I've gone through 5 of these mobo's and I promise you it does not fully support the processor. Its not that only to ram slots are recommended you can't have more than 4gigs of ram and even if you stay below with the updated bios. The unit has tons of issues that will stop you from enjoying your unit. Please consider anything else but this. I spent 3 months fighting with Asus over this and did finally get them to admit that they are not fully FM2+ compatible with this mobo but will keep it on the shelves since its a big loss to pull it.

FD4100WMGUSBX is the same as FD4100WMW4KGU, and it is listed as supported on http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970DE3U3S3/?cat=CPU

I used this board and installed a Richland without a bios update. Worked fine. Used this processor: AMD A6-6400K Richland 3.9GHz Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor AMD Radeon HD AD640KOKHLBOX

The latest BIOS is 4404. I don't know what BIOS is currently shipping with this board, since it would depend on when the board was manufactured. However, 4404 was released in October of 2013, so if the source of the board has fresh stock, you'll likely get the latest BIOS. In any event, I use G-Skill 2133 memory (8x4GB - Quad Matched Sticks) in this board and run it at XMP setting with a hex-core 3930 CPU running at 4.2 GHz, and a Corsair H80i cooler. I replaced the stock H80i cooler fans (noisy) with the Corsair PWM High Static Pressure models (2 fans - push-pull - blowing out of the case), and even when all 6 cores are running at 100% while recoding video for hours at a time, the temp never gets above 70 degrees C. It's a fine board and once I added that H80i and those fans, it has run flawlessly. Buy it, you'll like it!

not sure of the version still on the box, it has a UEFI dual BIOS and i think you can download some BIOS updates if that's your concern.

I got REV 1.0 but I wouldn't expect any noticeable improvement added to 1.1. The REV 1.0 that I received already has the f4 bios and I don't really need to update to f5 version because I don't see any use of it in the soonest foreseeable future

As of right now there is only bios F6 "first release" listed on Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 support page.

Regardless of what BIOS the board comes with, you can change it to F3 by going to the Gigabyte website and downloading their BIOS update utility.
