The GA-EP31-DS3L is a new variation of the P31 motherboard with Dynamic Energy Saver (DES), and I wish to use it with a 45nm CPU (E7200 or E8400).
Gigabyte usually state BIOS version as F1, F2, F3, etc., but for this product the CPU support list shows that version FB supports 45nm, 65nm and all earlier supported CPUs. Also, the BIOS page indicates FB to be the only version available to date (released 5th August 2008).
My first thoughts were that the 'B' in FB might indicate a Beta version, yet it is hardly Beta if the product is in production with only this BIOS version available.
Can anyone explain the meaning of version FB, or reassure me that this BIOS version will work with, and be stable with, the E7200 or E8400?
