Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Jim,

I see you have quite the collection of Gigabyte Bearlake/Eaglelake boards. Do you know if they support s771 Xeons (ie: an E5472 Harpertown) without issue?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Welcome to the forum.

Your best approach is to follow this recommendation from Which are the "best" Intel AHCI/RAID drivers?:

Intel RST drivers v11.2.0.1006 WHQL dated 05/30/2012
These latest "classical" Intel AHCI/RAID drivers do support all Windows Operating Systems from W2k/XP up to Win10 and are recommended for the following systems:

• AHCI mode: Good choice for all Intel AHCI systems from ICH7 up to 5-Series Chipsets
• RAID mode: Probably best choice for all Intel RAID systems from ICH7R up to 7-Series Chipsets (look >here<)
• Best matching Intel RAID ROM: v11.2.0.1527 (no Intel EFI RaidDriver available)

Comments:

• These are the latest "classical" Intel RST AHCI/RAID drivers, which are managing the Intel SATA AHCI/RAID Controller with just 1 single driver named iaStor.sys.
• "TRIM in RAID0" is supported (Precondition: An actual Intel RAID ROM or EFI RAID "SataDriver" from v11 up is present within the BIOS).
• Advantages:

a) They are running absolutely stable and will give the users AHCI/RAID system a very good performance (especially if being used with an SSD RAID0 configuration).
b) They are usable with all Windows Operating Systems from XP (32/64bit) up.

• Disadvantages:

a) Not all features of the newest Intel chipsets are supported.
b) A matching EFI RAID BIOS module is not available (only valid for RAID users).

One of the forum's bios modding magicians should be able to include the v11.2 raid rom and other updated Oroms to the EP45-DQ6's F13d latest bios.

My EP45-UD3P is running a modded bios, but it's currently using the older 8.9.1 raid Orom so I can't take advantage of trim right now.
Check out my raid 0 results in Socket 771 Mod Xeon X5460 GA-P35-DS3L Overclock, post #655 - 656.

Does anyone happen to have a copy of an updated EP45-DQ6 bios? Looking to support >3TB drives and hopefully TRIM.

Can someone please update GA-Z87X-UD5H F10? The latest update I see is from over a year ago.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

The best is to pair RST ROM and driver.
Should be OK.

Edit:
Update also

in Windows.

Thanks again, Stasio.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Thanks, Stasio.

I already have Intel RST v14.6 installed on Windows 7.
Now I will update MEI driver.

You say that my chipset supports RST up to v13.2.
So will using v14.6 cause any problems?
I now have v14.6 both in BIOS and in Windows.

EDIT - Updated MEI driver:

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

OK, thanks.

I decided to go ahead and flash the BIOS that I updated with UBU v1.37.
I have DualBIOS, so I can use the secondary backup BIOS in case of trouble.
BIOS flashed OK. After that, updated MEI FW from Windows.
Done.

According your pic above,just update Intel MEI FW with

in Windows.

Btw,
easy to do is explained here:
[Tool Guide+News] "UEFI BIOS Updater" (UBU)

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Stasio,

I tried using UBU 1.37.
The tool is not user-friendly. It's hard to understand what's going on.
It should display all my current BIOS components and version number, And offer updates for components that have a newer version.
But it only shows GUID of my current components, not version numbers.

I'm afraid it's too risky for me to do on my own, as I might mess something up.

Not much to update your Z77X series.
If anything ,use UBU 1.37 :
UEFI BIOS Updater ? RGhost ? file sharing
