Question Gigabyte EP35-DS3L BIOS Flash

Hey guys,

I'm planning to flash my BIOS from F4 to F5 using the Qflash utility. Now, this requires a flash drive with a FAT8/16/32 format. When i check my flash drive it just says FAT. Will it work?

Thanks in advance.

F5 Isnt beta, get it at gigabytes site, f6 is though. F5 offers better overclock ability then f4. Its worth it.
