    Which BIOS for Kaby Lake GA-z170x-ud5 th build

    I am updating my system to an i7 7700K processor. I know I have to update the BIOS to at least F20 for the Kaby to run (still have the Skylake installed). My question is, which BIOS should I use. The Gigabyte web site duly lists the other BIOS options but the descriptions are not terribly...
