I have a GA-H61M-S1 motherboard that's been running for a good few years now. The last time I did a BIOS update was months after I installed it, and then I stopped caring about it. Now I'm looking to flash the beta BIOS (FD4) onto it and see if anything changes. The description says: Improve High-End Display card compatibility, and I'm curious. For that I need to ensure I get the correct model (rev) and I don't remember which rev it is. Gigabyte's website lists out 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 3.0 and 4.0.
Neither CPU-Z nor the BIOS itself shows me which revision it is, and that's a problem. It only shows my current bios version: FC. The revisions all have different layouts, I have the layout of my board in memory, and this one is the closest that comes to it:

Should I go ahead and flash? Or does it not matter that much between revisions? Any other way to figure out which revision it is (idk where the box is)?
Edit: I found atBios and flashed it anyway, FD4 seems to be working fine on first glance. Had to change my SATA controller from IDE back to AHCI to get it back working.
