Cool. I've got an issue with my UD3 btw, sometimes it just won't boot. I've been running at 47x100 1.48v for three days now, doing whatever I use the setup for (gaming, benching Vantage) plus a few hours of Prime95 for stability testing. Keeps looping trying to boot and eventually makes me reset BIOS settings. At uni now though so I haven't been messing too much with the setup today, but it's similar to when I tried getting 2400mhz on the memory. Too low IMC/VTT voltage perhaps?

New BIOS released:

G1.Assassin 2 - F9b
GA-X79-UD5 - F9b
GA-X79-UD3 - F9b

If anyone's interested here's my X79-UD7 Review...

I also just got a UD3 so i'll be working on that soon.

Funny thing is that the UD3s ship with a guaranteed BIOS of F7 or newer and it says so on the box, haha.

Why no LN2 tests ? Isn't that what the board was really made for ?

f9b here and very satisfied with it, stable and good for oc...

Updated to a 3930k stepping c2 and supersatisfied with it. More oc with less voltage. Intel should have waited and sell this c2 as first sandy bridge-e...

This new 3930k is from Malay, my last one was Costa Rica. People are saying malasian sb-e need less voltage than costarican...

No LN2 pots, yet. But this board should also be able to OC on water better than it did... a lot better.

Congrats all! EOL for this board.... We have a limited edition motherboard... Dont say i didnt tell you so a few posts back ;)

Lets hope support is still around!

Yo guys,
I just ordered an oc-bundle (X79-UD-5/3930K[C2Stepping] 4,5 GHZ guarantied, paid 1248,68 frogskins). Can't wait until I screw all the stuff together and see how it works -hopefully well.:cool:

Updated BIOS to F9b, which auto-updated backup BIOS and took out my RAID again... so fuggin' annoying. WTB BIOS update that doesn't nuke my RAID...

Thanks for confirming my thoughts on that bios. Everytime they drop a bios for supposed saftey concerns it will overwrite all previous bios's. Not a fan of this either. very happy I did not load this one.

In my giga ud7 f9b flashed only to one bios, not both. f8 did flash both...

Come on now.... Are you sure it was the BIOS? :D

You sure you didn't accidentally let windows try to load after the flash, without going back into the BIOS and enabling RAID again? The ONLY time I've seen arrays corrupted via BIOS flash is if you forget to enter the BIOS after flashing and enable RAID again.

Update of backup BIOS wouldn't cause this either, once that was done you'd shut down or reboot and still have plenty of time to enter the BIOS again to enable RAID. I'm not trying to give you a hard time, just want to let others know it's not very likely that the BIOS or BIOS update process itself destroys RAID arrays.

I'm quite sure. Since F4 I've updated my BIOS probably 6 times and every time I've made sure to go into BIOS and change the SATA controller over to RAID, however the RAID setup PRIOR to loading Windows already shows the RAID broken. The only BIOS updates that have destroyed my RAID were F7 and F9b. I backed up my BIOS prior to the update hoping that if my RAID got destroyed I'd be able to recover with my backup, but as the update took out both the main and backup BIOS and will not allow me to downgrade I got fuxxed.

UD7 - F9 is out.

New BIOS:

G1.Assassin 2 - F9
GA-X79-UD7 -F10
GA-X79-UD5 -F9
GA-X79-UD3 -F9

These newer then F9B Stasio ?

I am pretty sure it should be newer, as F9X betas are all before the final which is F9. No?

What is the change log stasio? ANy idea when gigabyte will update their US site with official BIOSes that solve boot loops on Z68/P67?

- Update CPU Microcode (improve system stability)

Hi folks,

I just started OCing my X79-UD5 last week and was wondering if my experiences so far are of interest here. I don't intend to go really extreme with my 3820 tho. So...Whatcha think?

Any developments on this? After a very few months of life for the UD7.

New BIOS is out.

Could u post the changelog for F11a?
thx

Has anyone tested F11B? Is there a changelog?

Anyone experiencing loosing power on the USB devices, particularly the mouse and keyboard on the X79-UD7? Happens to me a lot. All the lights in the keyboard and mice (logitech g9x) blinks like a Christmas tree when this happens. Am on BIOS F10. Once this happens, all you can do is hit the reset or power button.

Try F11c . :D
Usually for me loosing power on the USB devices is unstable setting.
