      You can try to use search on theese thread: GIGABYTE Modified Bios! Not all bios are on the first page. Try to search by the name of your board.

        Question: As I understand, given the age of the GA-Z77X-UD3H is not worth more to expect any updates related to BIOS? Developers from gigabyte at all thrown in early 2014 to update the BIOS and even the latest official version is not released out of beta ...
        You're welcome. I tested it on my board prior to release
        According to Fernando (RST Guru) and multiple testing, the fastest combination for the 7 series is your current firmware and Intel RST(e) drivers v13.1.0.1058 WHQL dated 05/28/2014
        In case you want to test beta drivers in Win 8.1 make sure you disable driver signature enforcement. Otherwise you will get in trouble fast (like in no boot)

        To answer your question. On the thread below you can post and ask Stasio but I am pretty sure that there will be no more official update nor beta bios for ga-z77x-ud3h.
        http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte...beta-bios.html

        Gigabyte although very good at providing beta BIOS are also known to forget about their prior board quickly in favor of the new kid in town.
        I asked Gigabyte if they will release patched versions of present bioses against "LightEater" or its offspring's but heard nothing yet
        Hope it helps

          Clearly, thanks for your advice and information.
          I would periodically look here and Fernando page.
          And in general engineers are likely to have already forgotten about gigabytes Z77 and their bios :)

                Anyone wanting to update their BIOS, I was nervous about using UBU when stasio first pointed it out but it is really intuitive and easy to use.

                  Will do within 36 hours if you can't figure out how.

                      I think I was able to figure it out. I just used UBU to update everything to the latest version. Here's the updated F10 bios for the Z87X-UD4H if anyone else needs it.

                        I have also created an updated BIOS for the Z77X-UD5H (Mine is a Rev. 1.1)

                        Using the original F16 BIOS as a base I updated everything with UBU including the VBIOS which I extracted using the guide from SoniX and also added the latest Intel Management Engine Firmware using the guide from virtualfred.

                        I also added a small Firewire.ffs file for anyone running a hackintosh.

                        It has been running here ok since yesterday so if anyone with the same board as me wishes to test it let me know but please be aware this is at your own risk and know how to load your backup BIOS should anything go wrong.

                              I would stay away from the RST firmware 13.2 and up and v14 if I were you for a Intel series 7 chipset (unless they're especially modded to fit with series 7)
                              See previous posts were I modded some Intel series 7 BIOS.
                              Regards

                                Thanks Teddybehr, I need to check what my previous Mod15 BIOS was using as that has caused me no issues at all. As I only boot into OS X (via Clover) this might not be an issue for me?

                                This is the choice I have:
                                Code:
                                        Intel RST OROM and EFI SataDriver
                                
                                1 - Update to v11.6.0.1702
                                2 - Update to v12.9.0.2006
                                3 - Update to v13.1.0.2126
                                4 - Update to v13.5.0.2164
                                5 - Update to v14.5.0.2241
                                T - IRST TRIM-in-RAID0 Addon for Intel 6-Series motherboards
                                0 - Exit to Main Menu
                                
                                Enter number:
                                This is what the previous BIOS included:
                                Code:
                                1 Intel RST(e) OROM and EFI SataDriver
                                     OROM IRST RAID for SATA    - 13.2.0.2134
                                     EFI IRST RAID for SATA     - 13.2.0.2134
