I tried bios 10j now and found here the ram latencies are 160.1 compared to 62.-63. and change under 10f
with 9 and 10 series previous bios all latencies were in the 62. to 63. and change latencies.

Anyone else having this annoying bug with UD3P Bios(s) F10I&J? If I have quick boot enabled and my computer is shut down completely (IE, I unplug the PSU Cable/Flip the switch/Lose Power) to force a double boot which is normal for a high OC my #1 Ethernet Port cannot be started in Windows XP, #2 works just fine though.
This issue continues until either A: I flash back to an older bios or B: (and much simpler) I turn off quick boot and reboot to the NIC working just fine. I can only surmise that by skipping that bios step somehow XP doesn't get the necessary info to start the NIC properly?
Anyways at least my OC is working fine now.

Reason: More Info.
Hi I have gotten my self a UD3R new rev 1.6 (came with FD bios) and am having trouble getting a stable oc (i7 920 batch 3939Bxxx).
I feel its to do with the bios. The latest bios here for that board does not detect on the usb drive however the bios from the official gigabyte site has no problem.
The bios from that site has 2 more files when you unzip it.
Please advise as to how I should go about updating the bios.
PS- I have already updated the bios to the one from the gigabyte site (From product page GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - BIOS - GA-EX58-UD3R (rev. 1.6) ), that bios did not work out well I tried using the files that came with it and using the bios file from here but still the board is not stable. Once I am sure I have a good bios we can discuss settings .

Please flash from DOS using FlashSPI that comes with the official downloads, the new beta BIOS you are asking about likely contains a new version of Qflash and you would either need to flash from DOS or @BIOS. And I do not suggest @BIOS, so please flash from DOS.
Did you already try it from Qflash? If not, please see the guide here and try flashing it from Qflash >>
Hi thanks for your reply I have tried using the FD8 from here using Qflash but had to go a round about way to install it as i have mentioned in the earlier post.
Am using FD7 now set uncore frequency to 32xx and PCIE from auto to 100 and its a lot better.

I'm not sure why this should be happening. Can you confirm that you load optimized defaults, allow Windows to boot once then shut down and enter the custom settings you may use?
To confirm (for me), my latencies on F10j are within normal range, maybe on the lower side:
@KayossZero, I'm imaging to XCP later. I'll see if my NIC's are effected by QuickBoot.

Strange indeed. You've done the right thing by flashing back it seems. I must say, it makes a change hearing that someone had a problem with a BIOS and simply flashed back without any moaning/nastiness. I've just been on the Asus forum and they're all a bit rude tbh.
I was just greeted by the expected site of "Windows is no longer activated due to a hardware change". I knew it was coming.... Time to image back to a backup that was created befoe the F10i issue.
@KayossZero, I'll image back to XP first and see if my NICs behave themselves. If I understand right, it's with QuickBoot on, and when you power off completely and cut AC. I have the same double boot as you ofc, so I may be able to reproduce the error. I'l have to reboot a few more times because my QuickBoot is still verifying DMI Pool before booting. I believe it stops after a certain number of successful boots.

Oh no not that activation thing again.
weird
I will just stay with bios 10f for now then.

I'm posting this from within XP. I tried to replicate your issue, including making suer I was powered off long enough to trigger the double boot.
I was unable to reproduce the error. It may therefore be down to a difference between our BIOS settings or indeed NIC driver version. If it helps I am using version 5.696.616.2008 from, ofc 16/6/2008. Both NIC's are on line after several double boot starts, QuickBoot enabled.
Strange...

Hmm that is odd! I'm using driver Realtek RTL8111/8168 Lan Driver-5.738.1120.2009 (XP 32/64) from our very own "Latest Overclocking Programs, System Info, Benchmarking, & Stability Tools" thread. Perhaps your older driver doesn't have this issue. I have tried testing @ complete stock BIOS with optimized defaults loaded with the same issue.
It doesn't really matter a whole lot since Quick Boot doesn't really quicken the pace for me anyways but thanks for the testing!
P.S, LSD F10J bios still doesn't have the option to control a system fan in the "PC Health Status" bios menu, it only has the cpus. :(

Just to update again, for some wierd reason, after imaging back to Windows 7 about 5 minutes ago, I loaded up and sure enough I had no internet connection. Looked in Connection Settings and one of my NIC's was missing!
Seems that the "bug" you discovered isn't just isolated to XP but is a BIOS problem again. I rebooted several times, forced a check for new Hardware, disabled the NIC's, booted, shut down then re-enabled them to see if that would revive the dead port but it didn't sadly. Upon flashing back to official F9 (only BIOS I have at hand) my NIC's were both back and working perfectly.
I would from this testing conclude it is another bug in the F10 QuickBoot BIOS's. Probably as you say, down to QuickBoot (which isn't really that "quick").
Just to add, in F10i, after 5 boots, it no longer bothered verifying DMI Pool Data. In F10j it does, no matter how many clean boots the PC experiences, making QuickBoot almost pointless. When it checks DMI Pool (which it skipped in F10i) it does so right after the AHCI ROM screen on a black screen with the message on its own in the top left.
Lsdmeasap: I hope you get to read this mate. If possible could you offer any input to these strange problems. I thought seeing as you have an X58 you may have more experience with QuickBoot (if your board has it that is). Thanks.
