GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Acebmxer, thank you very much for your hard work! I've updated BIOS for X58A-UD7 with F9D and it works perfect. Why you didn't attached a link to the first page?

PS. After I flashed new BIOS (with SSV3 SLIC method) my SSD Corsair Force with 2 systems failed. The second SSD on the neighboring port is ok. This is not related to the BIOS update, but happen in a day.
Who knows what it should be and what I can do by myself with this SSD or only RMA?

I did not post your bios on the main page as you had other mods done to the bios which allows windows to install and activate with out a cdkey. If others want your bios they can look for it.

Sorry to hear about your SSD.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hi,

I have found bug in x58a-ud7 rev1 f9d complete 3 mod (april 1).

When post boot screens the gsata drives not listed when it is in AHCI mode.
Also can't boot (or select) in AHCI mode from IDE CDROM drive.

I have checked all 3 modified BIOS version, they are behave same, and tested last original f9d beta bios, it's worked
as all unmodded bios.

Can we fix this problem? I would be happy to use this modded bios. (as I do now...)

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Sorry to hear about your problems. The only thing I can do is not include the firmware upgrade for the marvel controller which is the gsata for that board. No one else has complained about this firmware on any other board.

You still using a IDE cdrom drive? Not trying to sound mean or anything but spend $20 and get a sata dvd burner.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hi guys!
With my GA-EX58-Extreme i have optimal latency in DPC Latency Checker with F12 official bios and worse one with F13u modded, but my Crucial M4 works better with the latter (with F12 raid rom the POST hangs when recognizing SSD in achi mode if i don't create partitions before installing Windows).

So i made a F12 modded version with last oroms (raid, Realtek and jMicron):

Manufacturer: Gigabyte
Model: GA-EX58-Extreme
Bios Type: Award
Bios Revision: F12
Oroms Updated:
Intel RAID Updated to: 11.5.0.1347
JMicron RAID Updated to: 1.07.28
RealTek PXE Updated to: 2.47
Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11792878/EX58EXmod.F12

Tested on my mobo, works good.

Bye!

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Do you know, what the new firmware do ? So what I will loose if revert back the previous marvell firmware?


The IDE DVDburner is because all sata connectors kept for hard drives...(and use also external firewire and usb3...)
It was not easy to find this lightscribe IDE DVD for this case:-).
I like this board, because it is full of up to date connections and the last one with PCI and IDE..., PS/2... ( I have pricey PCI DSP card)

Thanks for your help

Regards,
Pubem

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hi guys! Can you please help me to understand whats IRST 11.1.0.1413? I see tat latest bioses have been updated with it form x58. Thanks,

[Acebmxer]

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

IRST 11.1.0.1413 is Intel's raid rom file. This is the file in the bios that controls the raid function of your board. That version is not the latest but atleast Gigabyte updated it from the older version.

Thank you Acebmxer! Do you think there are any chances for bios updates for ga-x58a-ud5 (rev2) in the future since sandy/ivy is taking over?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

I would say chances are still good. Everyone once and a while I still see P45 bios's posted.

When you say gsata are you talking about the none intel sata2 or sata3 ports? The gsata2 ports and the IDE are controlled by the jmicron controller the gsata3 ports are the marvel controller.

Great! Thanks lovely to hear!
I`ve got a quick question as well. I updated my bios to GA-X58A-UD5 Rev 2.0 Bios Ff3 Complete Mod. Would you advise me to update my secondary backup bios to the same version?
