BIOS package for the Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 revision 3.0, delivered as a 5.31 MB RAR archive, considerably larger than the files for earlier revisions. The board uses the AMD 970 chipset for AM3+ processors, and revision 3.0 is a later redesign, so this firmware should not go on 1.x boards. Write it to the SPI flash with a programmer when the board does not POST. Back up the chip first, verify the rev 3.0 marking, and check the extracted image size against the chip capacity.
