Thank you for this virtualfred. I've been so looking forward to flashing your BIOS. I really appreciate your help with this, and with figuring out my issue with BIOS installations after f3t. Have a good day.

PS - There's five pages of new BIOS builds since Friday! You're not even human, you must be some kind of cyborg that doesn't require sleep! The gigabyte users are very greatful.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Finally installed the f15h using fpt dos command.

Results: First reboot, second reboot, third reboot........., completly poweroff and the new bios is there, but without 3D mode, lot's of new features

Startup a little bit faster than f14 mod 4. Also upgraded the MEI firmware and Gbe Firmware without problem.

Try to duplicate my previous OC settings, and infinite reboot start again, try multiple OC and failed again. (clear cmos needed)

Finally go back to f14 mod 4.

Thanks for you feedback, sometimes new BIOS needs new OC's settings... it seems GB still needs to work on these new BIOS...

I'm running the moded X79-UP4.f3x (I got my version right finally :) and I updated the MEI and flashed the newest GBE version. Just wanted to say thank you for all your help. So far everythings running good. There's some new SB/IB compatibility settings I've gotta do some research on so I can set them correctly, but I've tested OC and everything so far is working as it should.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

And one more imporant details about this f15h upgrade :

After the first clean reboot, a new Acpi driver was installed and require restart, after that i've to reactivate my original Oem version of W7 Pro_x64 by using the windows phone activation, of course it's ok.

Just for info.

Anyway thanks to all Gigabyte's Jedi

for taking time.

Ghostearth

PS : and after upgrade to gbe 1.5 version, and run ipconfig /all, the mac adress remain to 88 88 88 88 87 88 and not real adress that i have previously (the right one).

I used that thread this morning and updating GBE and editing to have the right mac address worked great.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

@morpheus67
