Slow?

Try GA-P67A-UD4-B3, that hasn't gotten ANY UEFI update so far. Guess we just have to throw it away, even though it was indicated at the time that UEFI would be added later, and some low end MBs in the series has already gotten it :(

Can't get Windows 8 to work properly at all, and missing out on all the benefits with faster starts and stuff. Done Gigabyte for 12 years now, but irritated enough to meter out some revenge for when Haswell comes!

Completely agree with you, all the series P67 & Z67 have been completely forgotten!!

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

I understand that GB will give priority to its newer boards but nothing seems to be happening at all for the
likes of the p67 or z68

it's a little unfair of GB to release UEFI BIOS for these board if they had no intention to update and develop them to a workable
replacement for the Old type BIOS.

Last UEFI I tested was the U1c version and it totally sucked (yes I know its BETA)it took 5 mins to boot with a GTX 670 installed
since then nothing much has changed despite a newer version.

Even tho my board has seen some movement in BIOS its still totally useless and I am still having to use the same BIOS as yourself to keep a stable system.

No pointing have a UEFI BIOS at all if it don't work.

BIOS bug: wake up computer from ACPI S3 sleep for WMC recording fails

I have confirmed the BIOS revisions F11 and F12 Beta to be buggy with a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H rev 1.0. My symptoms are:
1. wake-up from ACPI S3 (Suspend to RAM) does NOT work with Windows Media Center (Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit)
2. wake-up from ACPI S3 (Suspend to RAM) does work using a RC6 remote control with USB Infrared receiver.

Windows Media Center recordings will work only if the computer is running or in S1 mode. Recordings from hibernation never worked. After downgrading to BIOS F10 Windows Media Center woke up from S3 sleep to start a recording without issues. Before downgrading please check the CPU compatibility list to clarify whether your processor works with BIOS F10.

Hello everybody ! I have to inform that official bios F11 and beta bios F12b for GA-P55A-UD6 has serious bug: It's impossible to wake up computer from sleep (ACPI mode S3) under windows 7 64 bit. Bios F10 working well. Regards.

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Boe323: Mouse support for the Razer Copperhead has been broken, fixed and broken again for quite a while on my X79-UD5. Would be cool if you could patch the F13R BIOS? Let us know...Makes me wonder what the actual problem is!

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Sorry dude, the bios is from gigabyte, you neeed to tell them that same problem exists along the whole line of x79 boards, same issue for me, except, my razor is busted and im using a cheaper one now, but, the driver that fixes the razor, fixes my cheaper one, maybe when I report back to them they will implement it across the x79 line.Like I say, get intouch with them, they will help you. Damn forum keeps signing me out, doing my nut in, surely it cant be that hard to replace the module, the bios mod guys must be able to this, to take a working module from an earlier working bios and just swap it out?. I was looking forward to swapping out my cpu this year with the ivybridge-E, but now the damn board is useless, not compatable with windows 8 anymore, because no one is making the drivers for it, like creative for instance. Now it gonna cost me again.

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

boe323: Thanks. Gigabyte's support has been outright talking down on me (German support center in Hamburg) or simply not even bothering to read the entire email thread, making suggestions twice in the case of the BSOD causing Intel RAID drivers. Blamed it on OCCT.

BTW, I assumed you fixed it yourself like the folks that replace option ROMs in BIOSses. If Gigabyte doesn't realize it on their own that the mouse support is broken on ALL of the X79 boards, how retarded are they, if they get to know it through your issue.

On a side note, NEVER BUY a board because of ONBOARD COMPONENTS. Especially not a killer NIC or a Creative soundchip. Just disable those (or use a Realtek onboard chip/Intel card) and use a plug in card if you can. Killer NICs have always been at the verge of a SCAM, please read some serious reviews done by network specialists.

I completely agree. In fact I am going out this afternoon to buy a cheap Asus board (probably P9x79 LE).
I don't like any of the X79 boards but Gigabytes are just terrible.
Fingers crossed for a new chipset along with IVY B E.
