I have flashed mine 4 times with Gigabytes windows utility, with no issue. The only thing that Gigabyte recommends is that you turn of HT when doing it.

then the f11c beta came out and that's what i'm on.

If you have to go into the BIOS to turn off HT before flashing, why not just flash from the BIOS utility?
