it should work yes

Thanks! To be honest after resolving some Windows issues (I don't think they are hardware related) I think the system is stable. I put it to "Sleep" and back to normal mode without problem (contrary to what others reported on previous BIOS versions). The only buggy thing is the Mouse Freezing which is really annoying (it happens like every 20-30 seconds).
My mouse is the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX.

I will definitely do the backup update as you said. So that's ALT+F10 many times in the Splash screen.. How do I confirm it has happened succesfully?

Setting to "extreme" won't push my material too much? (heating, stability etc?)

Question: Should I re-install windows as I changed the controller after installation? (that's more of a Windows question..feel free to ignore it:))

it will show on screen that its being updated,stick with it as the niggles will get fixed,its worth emailing gigabyte and tell them the make/model of mouse thats freezing and bios version so they can fix it

no it wont hurt it just puts the power phases in a faster mode to keep up with the cpu so it wont freeze/crash,it wont affect temps,only cpu voltage and llc level will affect that

what controller? ahci? it shouldnt need reinstalling

I mean when I plugged my SATA cable to a different socket in the motherboard (it was in the Marvel one when I installed windows but I switched it to the Intel one..)

edit: The mouse/keyboard problems (Unifying wireless logitech both of em) are amplified when I have a disk connected to the USB port next to the one the USB receiver is...

Could it be I have to get rid of the Intel USB 3.0 and Via drivers? (I think that's when it started..)

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

yeah try uninstalling them,or pop in the bios and disable usb3,they will still run in usb2 mode

and switching to and from the marvell ports wont need windows re installing it will be fine

be sure to try latest drivers for usb3 from here

then repeatedly press alt and f10 together at the splash screen to update the back up bios chip with the main bios chip bios version,

I just tried it, with many variations, doesn't work... I go to Windows loading logo... should it be transparent?

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

no its the same icon as updating the bios only it says updating back up bios

its alt and f10 you have to press both at the same time as fast as you can,it is difficult but it does work,do it as splash screen pops up

press them together offand on off and on really fast

According to GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-Z77X-UD5H (rev. 1.0) it's the Intel driver..

is it? try those then,i wasnt sure

I updated the bios backup just fine and put the settings you told me. (voltage response fast and xtrme performance to the Pwm thingie..) but the temperatures of the cores are affected.. they're idling to 32-34C while before they were on 29-31/32.. is this possible?

The intel driver can't be installed..

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

Unfortunately problems with the mouse / keyboard continue :( temperatures are more or less back to normal I guess

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

hi yh clear cmos should fix it,try with one step down from ext performance and see if it lowers idle temps,it doesnt affect temps on my board but its different from yours

where is it affecting the kb/mouse? in the bios only? or in windows too? try with the via drivers,they wont install if that isnt the usb3 controller on that board

I dunno but I would take a look @ your PS and make sure it's capable!
