Don't know if you're the person to ask for this, but i don't know anyone else, lol
I'm on a GA X99 Designare EX. The last BIOS update was August last year.. and it's still in Beta, lol; last year.
So the request: Could you ask someone responsible for this, whenever they DO bother to update with a newer BIOS, to offer an option to disable LAN1 and/or LAN2 and/or Wireless?
This is not an option currently, they're all active, and it's something even the most basic mobos offer. Considering this is your flagship one.. well i was kinda disappointed to see even basic options missing.
If you could ask someone to (try?) include this in the next update, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks for reading :)

I have the X99 Phoenix SLI and I just got an email back and they said its discontinued so I doubt we will get a new bios. They told me to report of any bugs or problems with current.
Is it already known if Gigabyte will release new BIOS/UEFI firmwares to fix the Skylake/Kabylake Hyperthreading Errata that was just disclosed?
Errata: SKZ7/SKW144/SKL150/SKX150/SKZ7/KBL095/KBW095
"Short Loops Which Use AH/BH/CH/DH Registers May Cause Unpredictable System Behavior."
Problem: "Under complex micro-architectural conditions, short loops of less than 64 instructions that use AH, BH, CH or DH registers as well as their corresponding wider register (e.g. RAX, EAX or AX for AH) may cause unpredictable system behavior. This can only happen when both logical processors on the same physical processor are active."
Implication: "Due to this erratum, the system may experience unpredictable system behavior."

In a post from October of 2016 (pages 1053 & 1054 of this thread) , you answered the question "what has changed in GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 - F8a BIOS?" When I install that beta, it reports that it is a bios from November of 2015. Do you know if there is anything more recent for the Gaming 5?
I have had a longstanding problem with reboots and freezes after sleep and it is my understanding that this was a known issue with the Z97 boards and that bios fixes went out in mid-2016 for all of the Z97 boards beginning with the F11c BIOS for the UD5H. However, it appears that the Gaming 3 and Gaming 5 boards never received the fix.
Do you have any information on this?

Reason: Formating Issue
I had a lot of problems with F13w bios, and followed this thread (and other forum specifically on X79-UD5) on downgrading with AFUDOS (Afuwinx64)
It flashed F12 bios without error and then failed to boot. Instead of F12 I got crippled Intel PXE boot environment.
Q-flash by [END] key does not work
DualBios failed to restore (I suspect, there was backup corruption).
The only hope - PXE accesses SATA, but fails booting windows (probably because of core SYS drivers, like AHCI etc.)
Is there a way to restore the mobo? Any fail-safe boot mode?
At least bringing back F13w...
