Yeah, I get that part, is why i'm ordering the non-k new cpu, I'm wondering if the gigabyte bios supports vt-d as I need both to support it or do I need to swap m/b. All the questions I can find on the forum about it are about older m/b.
really want this with dual tbolt though, so not sure what I could swap too :o
for GA-Z77x-UP5 TH is vt-d support in bios? Ordered 3770k and can't be sure, wondering if I should order different m/b along with 3770[no k] chip to support this. Am planning on ESXi for the system.

What's so good about VT-D? Does lack of it decrease performance in a VM significantly?
VT-D allows you to pass devices though from the hose to guest VM. ESXi is the host operating system running a couple a VM's on 1 physical computer. VT-D will let your take a raid card or network card from the host system and pass it along to the VM and the VM will think its native hardware to the VM and allow you to install drivers for that device and use it.
I was having boot issues with my 3770k and the UD5 earlier today as well. I upgraded the F7 bios that came with the board to F12, and was in a reboot loop. I loaded the optimized defaults and turned off hyperthreading, changed the memory to its XMP profile, disabled the realtek audio, and selected the integrated graphics, as I am still waiting for my video card. After enabling and disabling each of these options individually, it turns out that disabling the realtek audio at the bios level was causing the reboot loop. It only took me 6 hours and alot of memtests to figure this quirk out Can anyone else recreate this?
WOW the realtek, I have not heard of that causing the problem or even thought it could be that. My cycle loop problem really only starts up every week so i have to wait about a week to work out if i fixed the problem.
I am now trying the power saving settings C1E C3/C6 thermal monitor and eist function as i read that disabling that cause the motherboard to go on the cycle loop. I had them disabled for the OC but now i have them enabled to see. I will find out within a week or so if that is indeed the cause.
This motherboard is really pissing me off.
Intel i7 2700K (@4.6Ghz) - 8GB Corsair - Windows 7 64Bit - Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H - Corsair Force 3 SSD 120GB
Gigabyte GTX680 OC - Benq 120hz LED Monitor
So if I flash this and do not like it, and revert, will the firmware remain?
Hi i actually tested myself flashed back to F8 checked the ME firmware and it reverted back too old version, then flashed back to F12 and newer version was present. Its safe to say its all incorporated in the bios.
F12 seems ok even sleep seems to be working, its jus the boot loops im tryin to sort. Also no point having dual bioses if we have to flashem both & set them the same. I also noticed i couldnt get ALT + F10 to work with F12.
Loading profile from usb also an issue.
I would come home from the gym or work and my PC wont respond.
All that I can do is reset it.
Using the F12 bios for the UD5H
I think i had it once where my tv just went black i couldnt see n e thing. Plenty reboot loops aswell. I checked both bioses (F12) one of them (Backup Bios) allowed me to change BCKL the Main Bios had the BCKL option completely missing. I then CMOS reset went back into bios, it was still missing. In the end i re-flshed F12 to Main Bios, then hey presto the BCKL option appeared. I then set my OC re-booted. Im still testing it now, Ive not had any cold start loops yet. F12 sleep works (still testing thumbs up) Gona test proper tonight for cold start loop.
****** both bioses on F12 (No need to set them exact the same) my backup bios is just default settings & Main bios is wid OC settings) with i7 2600K my vtt & imc is on AUTO at the mo.
***** so far running fine wid F12 i did have to set IMC & VTT 1.045v & 1.050v ..Extreme phase...Fast voltage..few notches up on vcore & DRAM...I think F12 is best wid I7 2600K so far. Sleep working. Just cant load profiles from USB. Im prayin the cold boot loops are gone also.
