Update backup BIOS

I currently have a gigabyte ga-880gm-usb3 mobo and was wondering if there is any way to update the backup BIOS chip to the current BIOS?

Thanks

I was just wondering as I have an AMD FX 6100 cpu and the backup BIOS doesn't support it, however the current BIOS does. This means if the backup BIOS was used my computer won't boot.

I would then have to get hold of another cpu just to update the BIOS.

Any idea how long it will take?

I don't know sorry. Are you sure the system won't boot with the FX and an old BIOS? I've seen plenty of boards that will boot with an "unsupported" chip, they just won't know the name and feature set of it... The FX6100 is quite a departure from the Sempron/Athlon/Phenom line though. I'd still get an X6 myself

I'm sure, I had the problem when I first bought the mobo and cpu. In the end I sent the mobo back to oc and they flashed it for me
