Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

@virtualfred: Thanks for GA-Z87X-UD5H BIOS F8e mod2.
However, there's a newer ME firmware version 9.5.30.1482 (at stationdrivers.com) that may be applicable to Z87 chipset boards. No?

I think if you look closer you will see that it's mislabeled. I believe the current firmware is 9.0.30.1482.

(I decided to give F8e another try)

Guys, check your vring voltage, especially if you keep the default uncore of x35! I was checking mine with a meter and notice it was getting as high as 1.3v.
Changing the uncore to something besides 35, or manually setting the voltage = no problem.

In all honesty I do not know if this happens with any of the other BIOS because I had been manually setting uncore + vring. When I get a chance tomorrow I will test some more.

Other than that this BIOS is working pretty good for me. I'm not sure why I had problems getting my RAM to OC before but it's working fine @ 2400/1.65v / .025 Vsa now.

....also I notice if you manually set vring to 1.05v, it will display in Tweak Launcher as Auto, but the voltage will be alright.

Hi VirtualFred

If you have the time, could you update the Z77 Sniper M3 Bios with the lataest OROMs please?

As always you work is greatly appreciated.

OK I did some more testing this morning. Uncore left at x35.
Stock frequency = Vring 1.003 v in Windows
Overclocked frequency (4.5, 4.6, etc) = Vring 1.3xx v in Windows
Overclocked frequency (4.6) & Vring manually set to 1.05 v = Vring 1.003 v in Windows

Since 1.3v seems a little excessive for Vring, maybe someone (Stasio?) could pass this along to Gigabyte?
Also vcore voltage response is missing from Advanced Power options & Memory channel A timings no longer displayed on first page of EUFI BIOS.

Thanks.

Hello Virtualfred, i've flashed the 2 BIOSes and all went well and as expected. I've tested the new Intel ROM with HD and SSD and all is stable and fast, with some improvement over the previous ROM.

Thanks a lot for your precious and appreciated work and kindness.

Have a nice week-end Padawan!

Cheers,

KK

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Ive had a hardware error, pfn list corrupt, 9/10 times it means hardware, im wondering if our x79 boards aren't cut out for the new sata drivers?

[virtualfred]

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Maybe... which iRST version ?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

using the latest 12.9 irst, my hdds are so damn noisy since the efi sata driver upgrade lol. before...they made like a smooth light tickle sound when reading andwriting but now... they crunch.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Just a quick update. I just successfully flash my bios with F23A Mod. Still did not clear my cmos.

I notice that the energy efficient came back and this is what needed.

All drives are quiet as ever just like F22 Mod. F18-F21 all drive are noisy as in so loud

Again, Thanks Virtu!

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Virtualfred, I am having strange issue with my X79S-UP5 WiFi rev.1.0 where I am using latest F5c mod BIOS...however, machine works stable except for one issue...if I enable UEFI only, my Win8.1 cannot find the drive, nor any drives in there. Except Windows, I cannot boot any other OS I usually use, like for example Ubuntu Studio 13.10.
That was the reason I asked earlier if there is any difference in BIOS-es between rev.1.0 and rev.1.1, and if you know which one is used in this mod!
I have strange issues and would like to ask if anyone could take a look at that mod please!
Thanks!
Also, if it is possible to mod a vanilla rev.1.0 F4 official so I can always default to this!
Thank you guys, great work!
