Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Could anyone tell me if the modded BIOS for X79-UD5 (F14b) is good for Sandy Bridge E users too? I have no idea how to check which microcodes I need and which I need to avoid. If not, could someone mod me a good SB-E BIOS?

I can't get along with the search function on this forum. My post in the Bete BIOS thread magically disappeared. I've scoured hundreds of pages for information, finally landed on F13t, modded and updated it slightly to not mess it up, found out it's not going to work for me because it's lacking UEFI only and Secure Boot options.. I can't get my RX 570 running in UEFI mode on it. Every piece of information I try to find leads back to these forums.. I'm really at the end of my wit here guys, a little help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

I just figured out both stock F14b and modded F14b use microcode revision 710 for any CPU with CPUID 206D7, which has been used ever since version F13U where Ivy Bridge E was introduced. So I'm going to assume that it's not as good for SB-E users

Hi I have this exact motherboard (z68m-d2h, rev 1.0) bought off ebay. It's running on U1G bios as well. When running on a i7-3770 CPU, the dual channel memory will not work. Any memory installed on channel B will result in a power off - reset when I powered on in 10 seconds.

I wonder maybe it's BIOS is still not up to date, and I would like to request modified BIOS above. Kindly let me know if you still have it.

Hi all!

Here is a link to an updated/modded BIOS based on the Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7 Beta BIOS version F9b that I did (I cannot attach the file as it is apparently too large). I used the UBU update tool and also manually added the IME update.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hello Guys.
I have a Gigabyte GA-EX58-Extreme motherboard with original F13S firmware (firmware wich supports Intel X5690 processor). System (Win10Pro) works on Samsung 860 Evo SSD connected to PCI-e x4 Marvell 8230 controller card. No problems detected (exept original samsung magician software, but it's a other story).
Now I have an idea to buy PLEXTOR M9Pe PCI-E x4 AIC NVMe (on Marvell 88SS1093 controller) and use it for Windows 10 Pro system.
As I read, X58 with original BIOS doesn't support boot from NVMe.

Does anybody tryed to use NVMe as boot disk with same board and any custom firmwares or it's impossible?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Your CPU is retail ?
What didn't work...? boot or something else..?
I found one modded F21e , try and this is my last resort,no other option.....

Does this includes NVMe modification? I need modded x79 UD3 rev 1.1 BIOS with NVMe modification.
Thanks

question

is it a modded bios to download for g1 assassin x79 to use m.2/nvme

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

I noticed a few months ago, that for older boards regarding Spectre / Meltdown vulnerabilities must ask GB Tech. support for latest BIOS.

Yep I uploaded it in my prior post. However it doesn't fix the CPU multiplier and voltage issue when overclocking. May you take a look and see if you can modify it to fix it?

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Hello there!

I am looking for a way to make crystal well cpus (haswell with GT3 gpu and edram) work on Gigabyte motherboards. Originally they were laptop-only BGA cpus, but versions adapted for LGA 1150 can be bought in china.
Their cpuid is 40661. They seems to work fine out of box on every vendor's motherboards (with no microcode in bios)... except for Gigabyte :D

I guess it might be because Gigabyte was the only vendor that actually did make desktop hardware based on those cpus (4570r/4770r brix). As bioses share some code, probably there is common logic that recognizes CW cpu, but later fails because the next part is removed from code for socketed platforms.
I have found some partial success here, but just adding microcode to my motherboard's bios didn't help (Z97X Gaming GT).

Any ideas what can be done? I'm open for bios modding suggestions (like module swap in mmtool) and trying out experimental versions of bios.
