Hey there,
This is the first time I've ever updated a motherboard's BIOS and I wanted to make sure I have everything correct before I dive in.
Specs -
Motherboard: Z68 Extreme7 Gen3
Bios: P1.30, 9/21/2011, the BIOS my motherboard came with
OS: Windows 8.1
CPU: i7-2700K Sandy Bridge CPU
HD: Samsung 840 EVO 500 GB
GPU: GTX 780 Ti
Ram: 16 GB DDR3 1600
And here's link to the BIOS downloads:

From what I've gathered I should update to 2.10 first, be sure to leave the USB in after the reboot for the Intel firmware to install then update to 2.3. Is that correct?
I also have some questions about the beta BIOSes, listed here:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z68%2...x.asp?cat=Beta
Should I be in the clear to update to a beta BIOS (after I update to 2.3) with my setup? I'm interested because of the Ultra Fast boot feature. Also, when updating the BIOS is it correct to go in sequential order, so in this case I would go from L2.22A to L2.33A to L2.32, or is it okay to jump straight to the newest one?
Thanks.
