I recently ordered Gigabyte B85M-D3H but i received Gigabyte B85M-D3H-A instead.

Does any one know any difference between the two or their release date, i didn't found anything significant online.
I expect there must be some difference in specifics or one has to be an older model?
i am not sure i should replace this one or not.

kindly help.

Both the mobos look exactly the same. The non-A model shows the GIGABYTE One Fuse per USB Port Design as a feature but the other one does not mention about this feature. Also the non-A model seems to be a cm wide if you go by the specs.
The B85M-D3H-A might be a newer version because there is not much info about this particular model.

Yeah i was too researching the diff. i came across something

the A- model has 2X64 Flash in bios whereas non -A model has 2x32 Flash in bios.

Although i don't know what it really means.
any thoughts.

Should i replace this model?

That's the size of the bios memory. Also you are getting it wrong the non A has 2x64 bit memory

Because the main specifications are same and are technically the same board, so i don't see any problem why you should not keep the board
