Re: Gigabyte latest bios

Just a few pages back,I (and Lsdmeasap)explain about new BetaBIOS release.
Pending info from Gigabyte R&D (they just start to work after Chinese New Year)
Any info, of course I'll post

Re: Gigabyte latest bios

And still no AMD board BETAs?

All a bit one sided this. Plenty of us prefer AMD to Intel, for various reasons.

On another note, GBT's change logs are virtually useless in terms of content and hide issues.

Compare with ASUS....

When new bios for EX58-UD5?

Re: Gigabyte latest bios

The great thing about this mobo is definitely the dual bios as that has saved me countless times from having to reset the CMOS. This should also prevent any corruptions as the backup will always reinitialize in case of failure correct? If so, EVERY motherboard regardless of manufacturer/price should include the dual bios.

When new bios for EX58-UD5?

Except weekly BIOS update for EX58 motherboards,very soon will be BIOS update regarding:
1.
Intel to launch Core i7 920 D0 revision on March 2nd
The CPUID number on the D0 stepping will change from 106A4 to 1067A5. However, a BIOS update will be required in order for X58 motherboards to accept the CPUID from both C0 and D0 steppings. Additionally, part numbers for the OEM and retail products have been changed, and the sSpec number has been changed from SLBCH to SLBED.
Intel's product change notification-PDF
2.
Intel X58 Express Chipset B2 to B3 Stepping Change3.
Core i7 950 and 975 to Replace 940 and 965 in Q2 2009
BIOS update will be required in order for X58 motherboards to accept the CPUID from both C0 and D0 steppings.

Re: Gigabyte latest bios 965P-DQ6-F13A

Flashed to F13A with a 965P-DQ6.

board is doing about 5-8 power cycles before considering loading. Takes about 1-2 minutes to receive a bios screen.

just an FYI.

Thanks for the updates stasio
Although I really hope the UD5 F5 BIOS does not become the official final version...

I just flashed F5 to my UD5 board and unfortunately S3 sleep and hibernate still seem to be broken
can anyone else confirm?

[edit] the F5 bios does fix the dual cold boot symptom and stops easytune from complaining that there's an update available.
i'm still going to flash back to F5e though, as i need S3 to work

Re: Gigabyte latest bios

Great, I will flash now to test.

By the way, in my case I got the best results so far with F4C.

*I can not make easytune to work (vista64).

*No problems with S3 at all.

I am new in this forum. Thank you stasio for the updates. I'm currently with F2 for my GA-EX58-UD4. Later today I'll go to F3k and check if I can push my i7 920 to 4GHz and my memory to 1600. I'll let you all know how it goes.

P.S. : I see that not many people here use GA-EX58-UD4. I'll try to give feedback about this motherboard.

hi euonline,
can you tell me what settings you are running at please?
maybe there is something wrong with mine

the only prob i have with easytune on vista64 is that it will crash if left running for a few hours

have you tried S3 with HT turned off and turbo enabled?
S3 works for me on earlier ones, but not on the F5f, F5g, or F5 bios's
