GA-P61-DS3-B3 (rev. 1.1)

BIOS .rar 1.32 MB Shared

BIOS archive for the Gigabyte GA-P61-DS3-B3 desktop motherboard, PCB revision 1.1, 1.32 MB in RAR form. Gigabyte prints the revision on the board, and the firmware is often tied to it, so read the silkscreen before flashing. Many Gigabyte boards of this generation have dual BIOS chips, and either chip can be reprogrammed with an SPI programmer if the board fails to start. Extract the file, check that its size matches the chip capacity, and save a copy of the existing contents before writing.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosarchive. Enginerys does not host this file.
