Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS
Just posting this error with GA-EX58-UD4P for any BIOS engineers that may be reading this thread. I will be sending this report in as well this week.
BIOS F8a S3 sleep resumes just fine 190-210+ Blck, with one exception, after resume the CPU turbo multiplier drops out. So from 21 multiplier you always get 20
On a side note, Easytune if used to change ANYTHING will always change the multi to 20. Always! I tested both F8a, and F7e using the latest Easytune B09.0417.1, and version B09.0216.1, because I had thought maybe the Easytune Multiplier drop was due to a newer Version of Easytune but it is not.
Not a huge PI difference, but it is for sure a difference and you can see several programs also pickup the multi drop as well. Easytune was never opened and is removed from startup by StartupCPL and ET's own menu in the toolbar, so no part of it is loaded ever without starting it manually.

F8a
Before S3 (21 Multi BIOS F8a)
After S3 (20 Multi BIOS F8a)
F7e
Before S3 (21 Multi BIOS F7e)
After S3 (20 Multi BIOS F7e)
It seems to me that after S3 sleep was corrected (In F7e), the CPU multiplier drop to 20 issue became present when using Easytune, or after a resume from S3. I do approve for sure of the changes made in F7e, and the improvements by F8a. I do not use S3 personally so not really an issue to me, but MANY users complain about S3 not working, so I am very happy to see a step in the right direction!! Seems we are almost there, F8a has some nice voltage improvements, things are very close to what you set in the BIOS less voltage seems to be stable and stronger then previous BIOS's.
