GA-G31M-S2L and E7200

[doggyfromplanetwoof]

The GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L CPU list on the gigabytes page says it will work with the E7200, but you need the new F5 bios that was just released in mid April, my concern is if I buy this from new egg, it will not have the updated bios and I'll be outta luck. Unless it does work, but just post an error??

Has anyone got this board and work with the E7200 with a older bios?

Or

Get the ABIT I-N73HD Problem, e7200 is not even listed on their website! http://www.abit.com.tw/cpu-sup...nforce630i_i-n73hd.htm

Normally I would say "it should work, but it just might not be fully supported," but on some of the gigabytes, they seem to only work with cpus that the bios recognizes. For example, I have the g31m-s2l and if I bsel mod my e4300 to 1066fsb it will not even post since the specs don't match what an "e4300" should be at (and yes, I did the bsel mod right, it posts fine in my other board at the new 1066fsb). I really doubt you will get a board that's shipping with f5 yet, likely f4. FWIW, I think the board is great for the price.

So you think it will post with a F1 continue error type?

Oh ya! Awesome broad for the price, I love budget systems that are fast.
