GA-P67A-UD4-B3 F7a BIOS....what Intel OROM version? I have modded F6 and don't want to downgrade on that. Thanks.

I recommend the new F8a BIOS for P67A series. I have a UD3P and it seems that the new BIOS removed cold boot power cycles when PLL OV is enabled. Now I can have clock speeds over 4.3 GHz!
My EX58-UD4P has the F14p bios from Jan 2011 (not F14q)
I'm using ICH10R in AHCI mode. The Intel option ROM for ahci seems to be very old (from 2008?).
I want to get a 3TB internal HDD but I'm a bit leery pairing such new technology with a year 2008 Intel AHCI option rom.. any thoughts? Has anyone tried this configuration and reported success?

Its not limited to the AHCI rom but limited to the bios it self. Gigabyte has not added EFI support to these older EX-58 boards, they have added it to the X58A boards.
You can still use the drive just not as the whole 3tb partiton. You would have to partition the drive into just under 2tb + the remainder.
If when you get drive make sure to initialize it using GPT vs MBR. MBR is limited to under 2tb.
I dont know Gigabyte did not add EFI support for these boards.

Nice timing Falkentyne, I was just coming to find you and message you about that!
I just got reply back about this from Taiwan, and the engineers are looking into it right now! The BIOS engineers are testing the new and the old LLC implementations, and I've asked them to be sure to also look into the voltage spikes when load is applied for the 10-step configuration of LLC in case they decide to keep it. I also asked if it would be possible for users to maybe have a choice, meaning a separate beta update for level 1/2 option! I doubt they'll do that as it's more work for each round of updates, but we'll see what they say.
Registered to say a hart-felt THANK YOU for that!
I'm so frustrated with my GA-P67A-UD7-B3 because of the terrible LLC implementation. I love Gigabyte and their UD3-motherboards, but this one really lets me down =( I really really hope they fix it, I don't want to change to another brand. Right now I overclock without any LLC whatsoever, because it only adds instability and the voltage variations. I managed to do a 45 min LynX-run on 5 Ghz using only Dynamic Voltage, but the voltage-spikes are terrible and the vdroop is just way to much =/

Thanks for your very kind wordsjulianNL, they are most appreciated!
I will keep everyone posted if and when I hear anymore news about the LLC testing. So the latest BIOSes for your board aren't working smoothly for you, did you try LLC Level 5-6?
45 Minutes of LinX? Wow, 5 passes to 10 at most is plenty, but I guess 5-10 might be more than 45 minutes depending on the memory amount. Longer than 5-10 passes and you are just tutoring your CPU for no reason. I hear you on the DVID, I don't use it either, I think just because I don't like the concept though and I disable speedstep anyway, not because of any issues with the setting itself.

Best off posting it in a bios mod forum as I did and waiting currently.. seems like Gigabyte just dropped all X58 to "die" like most other manufacturers. At this rate still im more interested in a Golftown than a Sandy Bridge, this socket is far from "uselessly dead".
