GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Well i have not had the issues you encounter using the RSTe 12.6 , Infact i have had very little to complain about, its all been very good for me on the samsung 840 Pro's in raid.

However - i agree about the Creative sound driver issue - its never detected no matter what Bios i have used on the G1 Assassin 2.
Not found on this system !!

Im sorta confused:

Did Intel up the RST Enterprise (RSTe) version to 12.6? I thought the current Enterprise version was 3.6, and the normal Intel Rapid Storage Technology (iRST) OROM was at 12.6?

Last I heard, the RSTe didn't support TRIM, etc...

The Bios now supports two formats RSTe and iRST, RSTe = 11.6 to 12.6 Oroms which support Trim in Raid, but dont use the 12.5 drivers !!! They do not trigger Trim.
iRST Does not support trim in Raid to date and never has, with the latest being 3.6 Orom

Hope that makes sense.

At least you will eventually get one with fast boot :), can't say the same for us GA-X79-UD3 users...

I wouldn't count on it.
Looks like it will never work properly and will get dropped due to "other priorities and demands from customers".
Clearly it's too complicated for the engineers.

this is what Im thinking too.

new processor coming out so they will need be releasing bios updates for boards to support the cpu.


I just wish I would of bought a board to take advantage of the gpu on the chip.

Yes but even with Haswell, you will always be on Beta BIOS with Gigabyte because, by the time Haswell boards come out, the next Intel chip will be coming out and of course gigabyte will only focus on that new chip and would not bother with fixing any Haswell board bios's. And so the cycle will continue.

It's their business model.

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

I have a P67A-UD3-B3 v2 running the F9 BIOS, I upgraded from a 2500k to a 3770k and was disappointed that the F9 BIOS doesn't seem to support overclocking the 3770K. I tried the U1D UEFI firmware instead but came into the issues others reported with the CPU fan, namely it running at about half speed. It's idle speed was half what it was on F9 and it's top speed was about half what it was on F9. Needless to say this seemed pretty dangerous... ...Also it'd randomly force shut itself down in the middle of the night, every night. I reverted to F9 and I guess I'll have to accept that for some reason Gigabyte's '22nm Ready' BIOS doesn't actually support overclocking of Ivy Bridge. I look forward to a more functional UEFI on the P67A-UD3-B3 in the future and felt I should contribute my issues to the thread.

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Hi to everyone, this is my first post here, however I'm a Gigabyte user since the X38-DQ6
Great mobos, especially my latest UP5 TH (the fourth one)

Gonna ask lots of questions soon

Btw, here in Italy are all waiting for a new bios

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Id advise everyone to stay away from F19j for the z77 UD3H.

It was all going fine for a few days very stable at 4.4ghz with Offset +0.005 and LLC Turbo.

Decided to test the "fastboot" option today. After shutdown and then a cold restart the Raid controller had disappeared, hence Raid 0 array which i booted from had gone.
It took 5 or more clear cmos attempts and resetting Sata Controller to Raid to get the thing back.

The board will no longer overclock at all though, I've set 44 as the multiplier and put my OC voltages in, but it still shows up as running 3.4ghz.

Also RAM XMP or 1600mhz will no longer work, even though its set my RAM will only run at 1333mhz.

Multiple clear cmos attempts will not let me OC the 3570k CPU again

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

I don't see a reason to mess around with fast boot in the first place, whatever it is and does.
I've been using that BIOS myself since it was published and have exactly zero problems.

Maybe you should have said "yet another fast boot warning" :P
