Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Noted for GA-EP45-UD3P - F9a:
Q-Flash revert back from ver.2.09 to ver.2.08
OK,just flashed with BIOS F9a (Q-Flash ver.: 2.08 - MXCI 25L8005)
without Feature "Backup BIOS Images to HDD"

Do you mean for have the feature "Backup BIOS Images to HDD" is necessary update Q-Flash version to 2.09 ? After update the bios to F9a

How can do that?

Feature "Backup BIOS Images to HDD" which has been added in previous BIOS,in F9a not available.

Yeah i got that part, but to have again i just have to downgrade to version F8 or install the Q-flash version 2.09?

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

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

Loading optimized defaults doesnt change the timings in the bios..
Cpu-z shows me the correct timings.

Ive got Bios version F7a.

Heres what the bios was telling me before I manually changes the timings.

You No need to change nothing in the BIOS,Optimized setting can detect 7-7-7-20(or higher),but is in Auto.Leave everything in Auto and your RAM will be 9-9-9-24 in Windows.

Only in BIOS F8f is added this function.
Q-Flash came together with BIOS,you cann't install separate.

I see, many thanks stasio..

EDIT: I've just set timings in the BIOS to Auto and yes, CPU-Z shows 9-9-9-25 (should be 9-9-9-24).. Is this ok?

Sorry, Im still getting my head around how memory timings work!

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Yes that would be fine. What ram is it you have and what speed are you running, you may not have to use CAS 9

Ram:
6GB (3x2GB) CorsairXMS3, DDR3 PC3-10666 (1333), CAS 9-9-9-24

CPU-Z says DRAM frequency = 700MHz & NB Frequency 3500 MHz..
Is this what you mean by speed or do I need to check in the bios?

Edit: Sorry, one more question.. Ive left the dram voltage at auto and currently running my i7 920 @ blck 175 to give me 3500GHz. The dram voltage is showing up as 1.58V when its specced to be run at 1.5V - should I manually change the voltage to 1.5V?

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

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."

Hi GHZ,

Try to enable in bios "high precision event" 64BIT.

In my case with bios F5C, S3 was working, but not GEST... now I am trying the F6C and S3 does not work but GEST does.... lol. I like GEST because it drops the multi to 10! when idle.

I really like Windows 7 and I belive it will be no way back now.... there is some bugs but make sure to get all the new updates.

Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

dangermoose,
Your memory Corsair XMS3-TR3X6G1333C9 voltage is up to 1.60V.
Assume,that you read 1.58V in BIOS,please use Everest to read voltage in Windows(should be less).

Hi euonline,

i presume you mean HPET 64 bit?
if so, i have had that enabled since the day i purchased the UD5
i haven't actually noticed any difference enabled or disabled

GEST = EIST ?
i have no problems with EIST on F5e, but i've also never seen it drop the multiplier lower than 12

i've found one or two people with the same Event 12, Microsoft Windows HAL, errors, but no resolution or fixes so far
i've tried to adjust/loosen timings, dropped memory back to 1066, increased voltages, but nothing so far has stopped them appearing
