I have version F5 of my mobo bios. Can I update it directly to F12, or do I have to download and chronologically update them all from F6 and upward?

You can just jump to the higher number. Just make sure the Bios are for your motherboard. If anything goes wrong your boards dead.

on CPU-Z it says my mobo is Revision A3. But on the Gigabyte website it only lists Revision 1.0 and Revision 1.1. The picture for 1.1 looks like my mobo, is it safe to say that's the correct one?

Only update your bios if it's absolutely necessary, meaning you're having issues such as crashes or boot failures. A bios update failure could render your motherboard completely useless and you'd have to puchase a new one. You won't get a replacement using RMA either.

Are you having any issues with your pc at all? If not, dont update.
