3DMark Timespy -
F14: 10,110
F15: 10,119
Cinebench R23 Multi-thread:
F14: 11,117
F15: 11,141
Overall, no change in performance or stability, no WHEA errors - granted I did see some minor USB issues again on F14, that previously seemed to be fixed in F13, but so far I've seen no USB issues. Only 2 issues I've noticed are the ones I previously pointed out:
- FCLK auto setting issue in BIOS (fixed by manually setting correct FCLK for 1:1 ratio)
- Missing Boost Clock Override setting in BIOS (F15)
I cannot speak to the VDDG issue others have pointed out, because I've never testing adjusting it from the auto setting. I'll do some Prime95 runs tonight to further test stability.

as long the boot it's not as bad as an imac with big sur on fusion drive everything is fine ;)

There are multiple forums that host public databases hosting official firmware download links, that being said this thread still has a reason to exist mainly due to discuss bugs/share infos about build stability.

So, updated my B550 Aorus Master to F14 final. Did slight RamOC (3600 to 3666), tweaked subtimings slightly, as they were with previous Bios revisions. No USB-problems so far, no instabilitys. All tests and benchmarks I ran were in a range from -2 to +3% compared to older results, so everything within normal measurement accuracies.
What I personally think is that UEFI seems to be a bit less laggy. Maybe it's just imagination.
As there are no problems that I could observe I'll stay with this version for a while.

Hey folks,
I have a GA-Z68-DS3 Rev.1 running on F9 BIOS. I decided to move from i5 2400 to i7 3770. Unfortunately the MB will run into a bootloop without post! So I guess for some reason the original GB BIOS F9 would not support the 3770 CPU. I couldnt figure out if there is BIOS addressing that issue. I read about moving to UEFI but could not find a procedure aka HOWTO!
Any directions to a suitable sollution guys?
Thanks a bunch,
Timiboy

I tried to update my B550I AORUS PRO AX from F13 to F15, but Qflash Manager says "Can't read file".
Tried with bios downloaded from Global site, then US site.
Tried Gigabyte windows app to no avail.
I thought maybe I must update F14 before F15 ? Can't update to F14 aswell.
Seems I'm stuck on F13 :D
Anybody knows what's going on ? I used to update via Bios/Qflash without issue before.

Gigabyte is probably still in the aftermmath of this, and can't release new versions as before. Usually this takes one year and more to recover from such incidents.
And if Stasio is not releasing those new version who should ?
Best regards

Case closed guys! After testing the CPU on a Z77 MB I decided to inspect the bottom of it...TADAAAAA I found a really "deep" ditch which most propably cause the CPU of fully contacting the socket! I'll go and get another 3770 and should then be ready to go!
