Hello, I'm new here. I decided to register because I'm in a bit of a tough spot with my Gigabyte X79-UD5 and I'm hoping there are people here who can help me with some questions about different BIOSes.
I'm using a Sandy Bridge CPU (Xeon E5-1650) and I'm currently using BIOS F13p. I remember from a while ago on another forum that people with Sandy Bridge CPUs had a lot of negative results with BIOS F13w and over because (as far as I can find documented anyway) this is when Ivy Bridge support was added, which screwed with stability and made it harder to get good overclocking results on Sandy Bridge CPUs. So I was wondering if anyone has documentation of changelogs (or is able to read the files) of F13t, F13u and F13v so I can make sure none of these have Ivy Bridge support. Judging by documentation, I believe F13s does not have this yet but I can only find the downloads of the versions released in between F13s and F13w and not their changelogs.
The reason I'm trying to get my hands on the last Sandy Bridge only BIOS is because I recall people having issues with earlier BIOSes not supporting GPUs with high amounts of VRAM. I'm currently on 3GBs, which works, however there is an 8GB GPU on the way now.
Any information, leads or guidance on how to figure this out myself is welcome!
EDIT:
I just found this post from back when 13v released (I just flashed to it and noticed the date so I started looking for posts from around that time)
The "- Improve compatibility" makes me think that Ivy Bridge support has not yet been implemented since it isn't mentioned. However the 3D support from my previous version is gone, which is also mentioned in the 13w patch notes so this worries me a little (I don't care about the functionality because it was useless but I'm hoping the microcodes or whatever causes Sandy Bridge to perform worse isn't implemented here yet)
(Note) Please update @BIOS to ver.2.33 and be sure to reflash this BIOS through @BIOS ver2.33. (Note) To Support IVB-E CPU, the Intel driver must be updated in advanced. (From UP4 or UD3 GB web page)
I finally found the last patch before IVB-E support (F13t), however there is a MicroCode update included in it. Does anyone happen to know if I should avoid this too? (Intel MicroCode 0ED6E209)
Since I have installed my new video card I am experiencing some serious lagging while gaming, could you please guy tell me where it could be the issue?
I am only playing 1080p
I have the latest Bios took it from this forum: F16k
my PC set up is the following:
GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB
CPU: i5 3570k
16 gb Ram
Video Card: ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2070

Is there any bios for Aorus z390 Ultra that has IO Latency offset option?
And if not, how is it possible to manually change RTL and IOL settings in current F7 bios - as simple numbers changing actually has no effect?
Hi i just got this for my Gigabyte Z390 Aorus master (rev1.0).
It to fix the fan curves glitching also if a fan is set to run at low speed sometime it will not work right. i given you there main link..
had F6 bios on Z170X Gaming 7 and now I updated to F20 - F22m. I didnt amagine I will have so many issues. The major problem was XMP profile in F20 no way hose. Now in F22m is a little better but I had to lower DDR4 to 2900 instead 3000XMP.
Memory maping or smth was cousing windows to crash.

I know it could sounds weird but recently I got a Gigabyte X38-DQ6 motherboard with a Q9550. The system is inestable even at stock/auto values and I wonder if someone could upload the F9K BIOS file or some more updated BIOS file derivated from it because at official Gigabytes website it's not available.
Thx,I will have new set of Z390 BIOS's..next week.
Stasio,
Any chance, if you can contact the Gigabyte bios engineer?
Can you ask them if they can make an Aorus Master bios with 800 khz PWM switch rate support?
The PWM supports it (Buildzoid even mentioned it in his review). I would like to test it (want improved transient response stability with higher loadline calibration)..
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much Stasio!
It will be very interesting to see if 800 khz switching frequency helps with higher loadline calibration transient resposnse (could also be limited by the mosfets discharging caps too).
The Master (and the Xtreme) have the VRM cooling to handle this.
