Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Sure. It would boot to a blinking cursor 2 out of 3 times.

Previous link updated with a new mod for Z87X-UD5H F8c : I downloaded F8c again, entirely modded it from the beginning and I checked again each parameter in ME FW.
Wish you a good flash.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hello Virtualfred! I'm finalizing my tests to find the best BIOS that suits my needs on my Z77X-UP5 TH and i think that the F12c seems to be the best but now that i've bought a pre-tested i7 3770K, the latest F12c that you modded for me (http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte...tml#post470196) need to be updated with latest CPU micro-code for Ivy Bridge.
Could you be so kind to mod the F12c (z77xup5th.12c) with the latest ROMs, the CPU micro-code pack, the latest Intel ME firmware and the very nice Modified Splash Logo 2?
Thanks in advance for your kindness and for your time.

Cheers,

KK

Good evening my favourite Padawan.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

When did the G1.Assassin2 BIOS F12y come out?

[boe323]

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

it didn't yet, I got it from support, I emailed them to get fastboot fixed, got today. I imagine Statio would of got hold it anyway, thanks for mod Virtualfred.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hi, the new mod BIOS loaded fine and my system boots with no issues. Many thanks for your time and effort creating it. I'm using an OCZ Agility 3 SSD drive with latest firmware.

My system will not boot if I set the BIOS to RAID mode - Windows 7 blue screens on start up. AHCI mode boots fine. I can't get the latest RST driver to work when I run the "SetupRST" it complains my system is not compatiable. I'm using an older version from 2010 - see screen shot for details.



It's too early to tell whether the new BIOS has solved my issues, but I can report back in a week.

Please report back in a week. Meanwhile you can do a repair install of Win 7 to load the default RAID driver after you set the SATA mode in Bios to RAID. Once the repair install completes, your system should boot normally in RAID mode. You should then update to the latest RST driver.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Well, ive ordered a core i7 4820k, 6cores will just be waisted for gaming, hope the new bios f12y for g1assassin2 is sufficient, holding back on motherboard until new chipset comes out, then ill just swap stuff over.

I may be wrong but it seems to me that Fast Boot disable USB during boot, so keyboard or mouse are not active, you must push reset to restart on normal boot and enter in BIOS.

HAHA - Thx matey.
Will have a go to see, maybe just set to fast in future.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Yeah, fast boot disables everything, that's why Microsoft added the uefi firmware settings option in the OS to take you to bios. Although you do get a choice on what you can disable and enable, I think USB, PS2, something else aswell can be set with fastboot or ultrafastboot.

USB are also disabled with Fast mode on my rig
