Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

The new F6x bios for UD7 has a new option for USB3. EHCI or XHCI. Any ideas what this does?

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Would anyone happen to know if there is a modded F12 bios for EX58-UD4P? Its terrible for overclocking, I spoke too soon with it. F10 final was a bit better. Right now I'm using F9e and has excellent overclockability but still has bugs of the older bioses..

I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm using F12 at 4.2 GHz (200x21) ... no issues. I'm using relatively low voltages, as well as Dynamic Vcore and HT. Temps are low as well. I think 4.2 is a reasonable overclock, and it is clear that the chip can go higher. What kind of overclock are you looking for?

I have the following overclock 170 LinX runs all memory and 24hr Prime95 stable with F9e and F10 final bios.

CPU Multi: x19
RAM Multi: x8
Uncore Multi: x16
BCLK: 211
Turbo: Disabled
Hyperthreading: Enabled
VT: Enabled
EIST: Disabled
C1E: Disabled
PCI-E: 100
CPU Clock Drive: 900mV
PCI-E Clock Drive: 900mV
CPU Skew: 0ps
IOH Skew: 0ps
RAM Timings: 8-8-8-24-1T
Loadline Calibration: Disabled
CPU Vcore: 1.3625v (1.328v idle, 1.296v load)
Uncore Volts: 1.295v
CPU PLL: Stock
IOH Core: Stock
QPI PLL: Stock
ICH Core (I/O): Stock
PCI-E Volts: Stock
RAM Volts: 1.66v
RAM REFs: 0.83v

With F12 it would either freeze, error, reboot, or BSOD within 7-15 runs in LinX, rarely it would get to 30 runs before failing. Temps have not changed and when I go back to F9e or F10 final its completely stable again, so its not the components failing or it would be failing with every bios. I follow all specs when clocking, hence no LLC, uncore below 1.33v, etc. I have tried multiple CPU/IOH skews, RAM timings, clock drives, with no change when using F12.

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Can I flash from an F7 to an F11 on the EX58-UD5 ?

or should I flash to an F9 then the F11?

I would flash f9,f11, then f12. Don't know if you have to, this method always worked for me. Hope this helps.

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Sounds good to me, didn't think it would be good going from an F7 to F12-13. The jump is too big

I will be flashing straight from whatever bios is on my board when I start the new build (probably F7) straight to F12.
