It uses the nvidia 8200 chipset and is almost the same as http://ca.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=ovqEgLFRjnSClhSV&templete=2
asus m3n78-vm which already supports the X6

The asus one is no good as its AMI and the Gigabyte board uses Award bios. However , we have discovered that cpu microcodes are not chipset specific , so basically any other award bios that supports the CPU is fine. I ended up using the latest Beta bios for your board (F3I) and upgraded AGESA and inserted new microcode to recognize Phenom X6 CPU's.

Try at your own risk!

I flashed it and it almost worked. It will boot to the point where it says something to the effect dmi update then locks up.

So I then made a mistake and flashed back a file I was working on now it is dead. SO I removed the board and tossed it in the trash thanks for trying.
