*Disclaimer*
This may or may not work for your board and also MAY work for other board manufacturers but YMMV and I hold no responsibility if it bricks your board. AMIBIOS is what most gigabyte boards use.
Ok after a near crap experience tonight of wanting to test out gigabytes new UEFI bios for some Z68/P67 boards I wanted to go back to the regular bios. The new UEFI bios was nice but was missing things for OC like LLC, PLL overvolt, and offset voltages. The following steps I had gotten off My Digital Life.
1. First thing is to goto gigabyte and download the older bios you want
2. Next is to download the utility above (If link is dead PM me I will upload it for you)
3. After downloading, extract and find the version for your OS (Win or Win64)
4. Copy the folder to the root directory of your hard drive ( C:\ )
5. Extract your bios to this folder as well that you have copied to the root directory of your hard drive
6. Your bios should look like this "Z68XUD3H.F12" what you need to do is rename it to "1.rom"
7. Now goto CMD prompt and type without quotes "fptw.exe -f 1.rom" or "fptw64.exe -f 1.rom" whichever OS you have
8. Let it flash (takes like 2 minutes). Once its completes turn the PC all the way off and cycle power. At this point its fingers crossed to see if it made it.
TIP* this way of blind flashing only flashes the first bios so it is best that once you get back into the bios, run Qflash and reflash the bios you want so it does both bioses for safety.

freevista said:I digged around, seems like there is no official way to flash it back to original hybrid bios. Except this Russian utility, try if you dare..
