You may have USB issues if you have a USB keyboard and mouse , but to over come this just enabled USB Keyboard and Mouse in the BIOS , not a Big deal .
Only reason I ask is because I had problems with f8e and nobody posted problems but me. Now f8g is out little leary about updating bios. Had a earlier post.......just put the X58 extreme f8f bios on my computer and all seemed ok at first but within a half an hour later ... problems. Ran memtest 86+ and because I have 3 computers on a kvm switch went to another computer. Last time I checked it was on test 7 no errors. Went away again then the computer shut off by itself.... Ok... so restarted and went into OS (win 7 RC x64) and after it booted I clicked the firefox icon the computer froze then shut off. Restarted and went into bios to change a few settings, froze in bios, then shut off. Tried numeros things still freezing and shutoff. No bsod's, just freezing. Flashed back to F7 havnt had a problem since. Definatly a problem with that bios (at least for me). Interesting to see if any one else has had problems as well.
Just moved from a P5N-D Nvidia 750i board to a new Gigabyte Ep45-UD3R its a great board.
I finished setting everything up last night on my Intel controlled RAID 0 drives. One thing I noticed was the boot time was longer than with a single drive due to the intel S-ATA screen. I'm using the F9 bios. Is there any updates that can speed up this intel initializing process? At the moment it takes about 8 seconds for the 9 dots at the please wait screen.

apologies, that was one i had previously modded for someone else. they had asked for a new raid rom to be added as well, but I did not get any feedback
Had a bit of a panic when I loaded up my saved Overclock booted into windows and non of my USB devices would work (inc keyboard and mouse) Thankfully I had an old PS2 keyboard so booted back into the bios and turned on the relevant settings. Not sure why they were set to disabled.
The boot time is much better now. The 9 dots at the please wait RAID screen have now gone. So boot time is a now a good 8/9 seconds quicker.
I set up my overclock and also set also AUTO values to Normal. I then booted into windows and did 25runs on maximum stress on intel burn test which it passed no problem. Vcore etc in windows is still the same.
GHz thanks for creating the modded bios its great!
Hi, I've just switched to the F8e bios -- fantastic to have resume from S3 sleep working as well as the automatic CPU fan speed -- so thanks!
Two bugs, one I haven't found a work around for.
First, after resume the memory timings are set to 4 - 8 - 7 - 20 instead of (the correct) 7 - 8 - 7 - 20. By getting rid of all "auto" settings in the BIOS this no longer causes the syustem to be unstable after S3, although the CAS latency is still *reported* incorrectly as 4.
The second bug is that the CPU temp is reported as ridiculously low (right now it's reported as 17, when in fact it's 23 ambient). This means that the CPU fan is spinning way too slow (300rpm). Is there a work around or do I need to wait until the next beta?
Also, can anyone say when the expect the official F8 bios to be released? I've build this machine for a friend and I'd like to hand it over on the next official release if this isn't going to much longer in the works.
Thanks again for all your excellent work here!
Cheers
Simon
yes the temp is to low about 14c to low here by me
need to wait for another beta then byt it fixed my oc problems :D
Try this on newest UD5, set your uncore multi to 20, regardless of ram (as long as < 20) then set your vcore to < or = 1.2 (if you have a decent 1.18 or so normal vcore chip) then a nice healthy qpi 1.26-1.34. Bclk at 188 and everything ON, i mean everything! Perfect, low temps, less volts than the older bios's needed.
Great bios, still get the cold boot, but, everything else is working perfectly as far as i can tell.
