Judging by the amount of comments, looks safe, I would download it if it was me. But since I have to be an upstanding forum member I'll just go with "better be safe than sorry".

With gigabyte boards, if you brick a BIOS It will reflash the other one.

My current build - Ever Changing.

Number 1 On LTT LGA 1150 CPU Cinebench R15
