Just flashed my D3H with UD5H BIOS F8a (must disabled one LAN in BIOS).
Also, profiles can be share for any board (with mod of course).

User ratings for the GA-Z77X-UD5H at Newegg show:

• 5 star 76% (31)
• 4 star 10% (4)
• 3 star 05% (2)
• 2 star 00% (0)
• 1 star 10% (4)

Even though this isn't a large sample, these are very good to excellent ratings by motherboard standards.

Caveat: most of the good reviews are dated before the release of Ivy Bridge. Big turning point.

Just installed the latest beta bios F7b for my Z77X-ud5, will monitor if the mouse/keyboard will lock up Windows 7.

Since last Saturday only 2 freezes.

went back to F7, f7b in my case causes higher cpu and core temperatures.

I swaped my board to a Asus P877-V Pro, used the exact same hardware, no keyboard issues or freezes and been running stable for a few hours so far *touch wood*

Wow, that's strange. Are you sure everything got setup the same as before flashing? I'm thinking of trying F7b and see if it will help with memory OC any.

Re: GZ-Z77X-UD5H Random freezing and shutdowns.

Yes I always do the same routine.

1) switch of 1364 and audio in the bios.
2) enable fan warning cpu fan on

with F7 the cpu temps are lower, in my case.

suggest you install f7b, before make some notes of the current temps and compare them later when f7b is installed.

I noticed same because my cpy fan sometime ran higher than usual.

No prob, got plenty screenshots of BIOS plus saved profiles. I will give it a shot, I can always flash back I guess.

Re: GZ-Z77X-UD5H Random freezing and shutdowns.

I got a tip to set the XHCI mode (in the bios) to enabled instead of the default AUTO. (also worth a go if yr system is instable)

I use Explorer 9 and each time my W7 freezed up, I was broswing the internet.

The last couple of days my system is quite stable no Freezes so far.

Re: GZ-Z77X-UD5H Random freezing and shutdowns.

I heard same thing except change from smart auto to auto. But I'm not having any problems like that. I've stress tested my 4.5 OC for 12 hours with the F8a BIOS.

Installed the F7b, cpu temp looks higher in BIOS, but in Windows looks OK. No problems so far but I haven't done any extensive testing. Going to take the rig down later for water cooling setup so may not get anything else done for a while.

Re: GZ-Z77X-UD5H Random freezing and shutdowns.

Has anyone tried the Intel_USB3_Win7-64_Win7(v1.0.4.220) driver?

I'm running happily without a USB driver installed (i.e. as a USB 2 system) and did not want to mess up the system by experimenting if someone has already tried it.

Re: GZ-Z77X-UD5H Random freezing and shutdowns.

I'm using the Intel usb 3.0 - driver 104225 W7-64 bits

my system is quite stable the last couple of days.
