GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Thanks for the info. I thought maybe it had to do with pcie ssd compatability (ie: make m2 slot x4 instead of x2 or have the 3rd pcie slot x4 ssd compatable.
"forcing cpu to run pcie x4" is an option in the F9e bios that is not present in earlier versions

No options for M.2 to use more lanes that I'm aware of.

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

What improvement in that BIOS, which changed her GA-Z77X-D3H - F18k


Thanks for answering.

After I've seen you ask this, I tried out this F18k BIOS (I was previously using F18i). I've used it over this weekend for 12 hours or so, and it seems to work fine. I did also use the PC for somewhat stressful stuff (compiling C++ code), and there were no errors using the exact same overclock settings as I used on the F18i BIOS.

A new thing I've seen in the BIOS is options to configure something about "ASPM": Active State Power Management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't know what it does. It's in the old-school looking part of the BIOS on the same screen where you configure power button behavior, wake alarm, ErP, etc.

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Stasio mate, any news on F7E or F7F :D for the Z97 Soc Force, cause i am hopeing the issues i had with X08 will not happen with future versions of the bios and that it was only X08 that was the issue lol if there is any news when something newer is out there for us let me know cheers.

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

F10 for Z87X-UD3H is BAD. The UEFI lags, BCLK is still underclocked too.

OK,
I flashed today F10 on my Z87X-UD3H.

UEFI classic mode and dashboard mode works well for me (no Video card).
CPU Base Clock changed from Auto to Manual in BIOS ,give me Bus Speed 100MHz...as default bellow:

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Hi stasio, the double-booting I mentioned earlier is still happening.

So when I start up the PC for the first time and hit DEL it goes through the post again and if I don't hit DEL on the 2 posting it will go into windows. The same thing will happen if I just "restart" from windows and have to go through post twice to get into bios.

On the Z87X-OC (x01, x05 & x08) I only have to hit DEL on the first post to get into bios. I hope this makes sense mate.

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Hi - I have been doing some beta bios testing on my Z79x -UD3H BK/i5 4690K setup and I would like to provide some feedback.

Today I flashed to the latest beta for my board - F7d and found that it was not as stable (needed slightly more vcore) as the previous bios I had been using (F7c). Also I noted that the CPU temps were up 4 to 5 degrees in XTU Benchmark, over F7c.

I was using my previous bios settings including vcore @ 1.25v for a 4.5ghz overclock for the benchmarking.

I have since flashed back to F7c and the CPU temps are now lower again.

Will wait for the final version of bios to be released - hopefully soon :)

Cheers

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Hello,

Same problem than Ron_Shad (post #7678) with GA-P67A-UD3-B3 and U1d, vcore doesn't apply correctly with fastboot or ultrafast boot

OK, I keyed in 100.00MHz before instead of selecting Manual which does give 100.02/01 in UEFI. I was also using CPU-Z 1.70.0 which reads BCLK as 99.98MHz, went back to 1.64.0 and now everything is reading correctly.

The lag in the UEFI went away after changing BCLK to Manual and rebooting.

Thanks for your reply, appreciate it.

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Hi Stasio,

I've found the problem with my booting into BIOS. It seems when I have my Corsair Voyager Mini USB (32gb) connected it has the problems as I described above. I had to pull it out to get some drivers on to it and BOOM into bios on the first boot/post. I repeated several times from Windows restart, complete power off and no issues. So I then put the USB stick back in and again back to the Double posting to get into Bios. I then thought to try some other USB sticks. First was a Corsair USB 3.0 Flash Voyager and a few other generic sticks and I had no issues getting into the Bios. lastly I also tried the Voyager Mini in all the other USB sockets and the same problem occurred (didn't try the Keyboard/Mouse sockets).

Hope this might help anyone else or if a fix can be found, besides not having the stick in there (no big deal though).

BIOS for H81 motherboards

Hello, I wonder if GIGABYTE would consider releasing Beta BIOS for H81 boards? I am running a Pentium G3258 with a GA-H81M-DS2V board which overclocks it very nicely! I have absolutely no complaints about the current BIOS but would love to test out new features etc for GIGABYTE.

Thanks!

Nice you discover....
Btw,
I meaning double boot only after flashing BIOS (not in normal case).

Yea,
for sure GB releases Beta BIOS's for H81 series, but I am not posting here.....limited space per post.

That's understood - any idea where I could go to get them? Thanks :)

Re: GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Z87X-UD5H BIOS F10
4790K
Takes 2 boots to get into BIOS, from fresh start sometimes will go on first boot but always takes twice from Windows.
Can't get my G Skill DRAM to run CR1/2400 at the same time.
Have to set bus speed manually to 100.02 (to get 100.00).

Going to go back and check out F10c and see how it compares when time permits...

FWIW.
