Re: Welcome to GIGABYTE Technical Support!

Still having same issue with Uncore/QPI Link speed through 3 generations of Gigabyte Boards only.

Increasing QPI-Link speed without changing CPU speed itself cannot be booted by any means because VSS_SENSE is handled by Gigabyte BIOS incorrectly. This is issue residenting only at Gigabyte boards as I also own EVGA and ASUS same chipset boards. I wonder why this feature was never fixed by Gigabyte to be following Intel standards.

Issue affects: X58, Z68, X79 chipsets and I wouldn't be surprised, if it would be through entire line up low end boards too.

This is 3rd post I mention this same issue through years at Gigabyte forums, here and even included detailed desc at Guru3D. I am begining to wonder after all the trouble I've put to track down the issue including having numerous conversations with Intel Support pointing still at same place of origin of issue why isn't this looked at and most of review's at web hell calls this as 'Gigabyte-Feature' already, lol.

Re: Welcome to GIGABYTE Technical Support!

Good day.

I have purchased a mobo Gigabyte H87TN, for purposes of using it embedded in my application(DIY embedded PC in a fridge door). For these purposes i have assumed i'd be able to use LVDS connection to my LCD panel. Implementation on how to integrate thin-mini itx boards with LVDS panels and how to embed everything nicely is reviewed excellently in intel PDF file named "All-in-One (AIO) Integration with Thin Mini-ITX" and "Thin Mini-ITX Based PC System Design Guide" (the second is revision ver.1.2m, and overall the document is great)

After doing some extensive research, and comprehensive designing of the embedded enclosure, integrated power supply, LCD panel mounting and etc - i'have started acquiring the components, and getting them started "on the bench".

The Problem:
Gigabyte H87TN -has extremely low information available, no normal documentation, no annotations, no nothing. But i have risked it, and bought it. As it immediately turned out - H87TN is unable to read and use EDID data from LCD panel via LVDS!!!. And the only way to use my LCD panel, is to have EDID data for my panel to be embedded into the motherboard BIOS! It is stated nowhere that the motherboard IS NOT SUPPORTING "other LCD", and has only the embedded support of those 4 LCD panels that are programmed into the BIOS.
Please help! How do i embed my own EDID data to use my LCD panel?
(datasheet for the panel is available here: http://4nb.com.ua/downloads/pdf/HB156WX1-100.pdf EDID data page 33-36)

There's a bug in BIOS F9a for the Z87X-U3DH where the mouse pointer gets stuck in the window and when moving the pointer around the window follows it. Very irritating!

And a couple of other bugs

- HD resolution still doesn't work since the Haswell release last summer even with the new F8 BIOS for my motherboard.

- Refuse to boot with some USB 3.0 sticks on some USB 3.0 ports.

- Bus running in 99.8mhz rather than the specified 100mhz.

Re: Welcome to GIGABYTE Technical Support!

Posted this in the Gigabyte Beat bios thread, but thought I'd better try this thread too, there is a problem in the Sniper z87 F3b beta bios where the save and exit button doesn't work, this only effects the UEFI bios, to save and exit any changes you must enter classic mode.

Also discovered that clicking on Save Profile or Load Profile locks up the bios.

GA-X79-UP4 Rev 1.1 Errors on 82579LM NIC
I7-4820k
G Skill 32gb 1866
EVGA 630

I have opened a ticket with Gigabyte, but not getting much assistance. I hope someone here can help. I just bought this board last week but I am having issues with the NIC. If I leave it at auto negotiate or try 1GB Full it starts getting receive errors, if I knock it down to 100mb Full it works fine. I have tried 5 different cables, different ports on my GB switch, gb router, and my ISP modem and it still happens. I have updated to the latest Intel drivers, I did try the F6 beta bios.

---Edit---
I reverted back to F5 and I noticed it had no issues after the flash and not OC'ing using easytune 6 B13.0924.2. Anytime I try to OC using EasyTune it causes the NIC to start getting receive errors. I appreciate any assistance.

Re: Welcome to GIGABYTE Technical Support!

I ve opened a discution with gigabyte for this problem if anyone got the same please tell me:

on the system:
x58.g1.guerrilla
i7-970
sandisk extreme II (marvell se9182 6g)
vertex2e (Intel ICH10 3g)


The boad is functionnal but on each first boot the system is quite long when "detecting IDE" and don t detect any drive on marvell controler so it boot on the intel controler drive...

I have to reboot or (ctrl+alt+supr) durring the boot [the keyboard seems to be no responding until the "ide dectect" is slow] the system on this second reboot work normaly the "ide detect" become fast and detect the sandisk drive quikly but I still have to press "f12" to boot on it because he have desapear from the priority list boot.

untill this trick acheve the system run normaly. This is a little boring to do on each boot...


on the bios, a delay change make no difference and all controlers are configured on AHCI

any idea ?

Guys/girls I need help!!!!

Hello,
I have a GA-G31M-S2C rev 1.2 motherboard, and I (this happened on 19.5.2014) decided to update my BIOS. I took the driver CD from the box, installed @BIOS (yes I know now that that was a huge mistake) and started the update. Near the end @BIOS showed a message saying that my BIOS has write protection, and I decided to exit the program knowing that I could mess up my BIOS, and that happened after I restarted the computer. Now when I turn on the computer it shows this:"Scaning BIOS Image in Hard Drive . . ." So basically I deleted my BIOS. I've been searching the Google world for about 3-4 hours and came here. I've tried to disconnect the HDD and put a USB with the BIOS(tryed flashing it the proper way), hoping that that will do some magical stuff but it didn't and the message:"Scaning BIOS Image in Hard Drive . . .", appeared again, with the HDD disconnected. I can buy a new BIOS chip, and that will work 100%, but if you have something that could work please say it.

Re: Welcome to GIGABYTE Technical Support!

is there anyway you can put the bios file on the hdd? using another pc? you might need to create a small partition in fat32 so that the bios can see it and flash it

Thank you for answering. I have tried that but with no success and I have ordered a new BIOS chip so this is pretty much solved.

Re: Welcome to GIGABYTE Technical Support!

-- GIGABYTE --Geeks Column of the Week - BIOS Explained is an older article that explains how Gigabyte bios recovery worked in many older systems.

A blind flash might have worked if your boot order had a floppy or optical drive as your first boot device and the bootable media has an Autoexec.bat file that will run the included bios flashing program where you've coded all the needed flashing options so that no user intervention is required for the bios flash to complete.

Re: Welcome to GIGABYTE Technical Support!

Hi

I have a new build GigabyteZ97 OC FORCE board with a 4790K CPU. I'm running Windows 8.1 and the device manager is showing a "SM Bus Controller" driver is missing. I've reloaded the latest chipset drivers but the fault remains. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it a known fault and if so what is the workaround please?

Thanks.

Re: Welcome to GIGABYTE Technical Support!

Hi, I'm hoping you can help me with getting my USB 3.0 ports working on my GA-970A-UD3P board. I've already started a separate thread here: http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte...04-64-bit.html with a little info (additional information regarding the system can be found in my system specs in my profile if needed).

Hoping you can help, Thanks in advance.
