GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Torter hopefully they will update them all soon, the 2006 version is a bit old and it is in all the BIOS's I have used for several boards! I have been meaning to ask about this myself as I have seen a few users updating their own in personally Modified BIOS's.

I'll ask Colin about this for the rest of the boards tonight (for anyone interested) and maybe they can all get a update in each boards next round of updates? Hopefully anyway.

Ya C3D76, That is what I would do. I mean re-flash with Qflash afterward. Really the danger with @BIOS is only in the procedure itself, if it all goes well during the @BIOS flash then you should be fine normally.


Kick, there is normally various fixes or things added/changed in each round of updates, some not major enough to be noted in the change logs. So that may or may not be the only noticeable thing you see updated between them and the F5 versions. Sorry I do not know more, maybe someone else will chime in though

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

I would be interested in the updated AHCI ROM version for the EP45-DS3R as well.

And, uh, while Colin is at it, maybe he could find a change log for F11a for this board... ;)

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

@Chucko

Send me a PM with your email. As for the F11a, is this for the EP45-DS3R? Where did you get this BIOS, as the most recent version I have is labeled 11a (no f, which could mean just mislabeled by BIOS guys)? I know you guys don't want to hear, but we only publish change logs for release versions, not engineering BIOS. To get that info is a bit tricky even for me, as I have to track down the engineer responsible and ask verbally, which my Chinese isn't the greatest. haha

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

I got the F11a BIOS from the link in the first post of this thread. PM to follow. Thanks Colin.

Beta BIOS for GA-EX58-Extreme F6e

Beta BIOS for GA-EX58-Extreme F6e

This should fix the S3 sleep issues, hopefully.

Please Do keep in mind there is currently possible issues with Qflash starting with F6d as reported by several users, and this is being tested. So please only flash this bios using @BIOS or a DOS Based flash such as FlashSPI as the issue may or may not persist thru to this BIOS.

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Colin is the one who gave me that F6e for the extreme. If you updated the front page with it, please do add the note/warning I posted as he said they are still testing the QFlash issue so it may still be present in that BIOS. Thanks

F7d for the UD4P for anyone interested adds some new memory settings that I have been conversing with Colin about that I had some concerns and issues with.

The new settings added are tWTP, and tWL. These will be upcoming soon for all new X58 BIOS's

Any users who use the UD4P BIOS from F7d and forward, and all BIOS for the rest once these settings are added into the remaining BIOS's, please keep in mind you must keep the following ratio at all times >>>

tWTP = tWR + tWL + 4

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

I have both the EP45-DS3R and EP45-DS3. Somehow the EP45-DS3R feels more stable... I can reach much higher FSB on the EP45-DS3R (same cpu, ram, gfx etc.). Is it possible to get some updates for EP45-DS3?

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

any changelog for UD3P F9a bios?

does it fix the Resume from S3 problem?

[stasio]

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

First,I didn't use S3,but

Beta BIOS for GA-EX58-Extreme F6e
This should fix the S3 sleep issues, hopefully.

(BIOS for UD3 and EX58 are very related).
Second, see my post above regarding Q-Flash.
Third,

I know you guys don't want to hear, but we only publish change logs for release versions, not engineering BIOS. To get that info is a bit tricky even for me, as I have to track down the engineer responsible and ask verbally, which my Chinese isn't the greatest. haha

Edit:
from JZelectronic
The S3 (E1) Bug occurs in the OC as in a setting as follows ...
BLCK160 / SMM10.0 / 8-8-8-20-1T (9-9-9-24-1T OK)
BLCK180 / SMM8.0 / 8-8-8-20-1T (9-9-9-24-1T OK)

Q-Flash should be updated to ver.2.09
with Feature "Backup BIOS Images to HDD"

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Hi all,

I have a UD4P which incorrectly set my ram timings in the bios to 7-7-7-20 when they should be 9-9-9-24.. I have changed them manually but wondered if this is normal ..?

I'm running 6GB (3x2GB) CorsairXMS3, DDR3 PC3-10666.

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

In the BIOS set "Load Optimized Default" and please check in Windows with CPU-Z ,Memset or Everest.

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

F6C (UD5) still freezing when up from S3.

*Using Windows 7

hi euonline,

i was wondering...
in windows 7, when using a bios that works with S3 (F5e for me).
do you have any errors in the event viewer after waking the pc?
i installed a copy of 7048 x64 the other day and i've started noticing some Event 12, Microsoft-Windows-HAL errors after waking my pc, even at completely stock settings:

"The platform firmware has corrupted memory across the previous system power transition. Please check for updated firmware for your system."
