x79s-up5 f3 bios

[rorixrebel]

so i recently upgraded my gpu to a gtx970 and i had issues (couldnt access the bios) so i ended up putting back the old 580 and flashing the bios to f4 cause apparently that was the fix and it was... but then the fire storm attacked and now im unable to play d3, csgo.

long time ago i had that issue and the solution was simple enough, turn off xmp and manually set the voltage to 1.6v on the sticks so they could function, i tried the same fix with F4 and its just not working at all.
i dont feel like trying the f5 variants cause im not sure if they address that issue (being unable to oc anything at all).

so the question is, someone has the f3 bios file somewhere in there?
looked in the main thread without luck.

thanks!

Re: x79s-up5 f3 bios

it is self extracting 7-zip (thats why it is exe) which you can open directly with archiver such as winrar, which contains the BIOS file(X79SUP5.F3) and Efiflash.exe and autoexec.bat, it is prepared for flashing under DOS

Mods feel free to reupload the BIOS and add it to older bios list.
