Gigabyte Sniper M5 - C2 stepping

[smoke2]

Hi,
I would like to buy Gigabyte Sniper M5, but sadly Gigabyte doesn't inform if the board have a newer C2 stepping.
Would appreciate if someone post me through PM his serial number of his Sniper M5.
Then I would buy higher serial number.
If someone knows how to find out if it is C2 stepping, please let me know
Thanks.

I found this link that might be an intrest for you:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Giga...r-Intel-Z87-Chipset-Motherboards-373171.shtml

As per the link, the C2 Stepping support is done by a BIOS udate (Article date is early August) .. So even if you get a board without C2 Stepping, you just need a BIOS update and you'll be good to go.

Hope that was useful ..

He wants a Motherboard with a C2 Stepping Chipset. A BIOS upgrade will not magically fix the silicon.

Would be glad if someone know how to discover if it is C2 revision, because Gigabyte what I know this does not state anywhere.
Or will be newer 1.1 revisions?
