f7b sounds like f7 beta (pre-release version). So I'd say go for it.

Is there such a way of changing the correct F7 Bios from gigabyte to say F8 to fool the motherboard into accepting the bios update

Or does anybody know someone who could modify the gigabyte F7 bios for me as the F7B in the boards at the moment appears not to be a genuine Gigabyte bios

If you think someone had flashed the wrong BIOS before, enter the BIOS and press F8 to access Q-Flash/Dual BIOS utility.
Instructions from page 61 to 73.
