- Random freezing
- Random shutoffs
- USB detection problems on startup
- Laggy BIOS navigation with mouse
If these issues are rather common, I wonder whether GB is really, genuinely committed long-term to resolving them. The UD5H has been in production since early March. I really like this board's features and the reviews it's been garnering, but I've been burned by Gigabyte in the past. I believe it was an X38 board that had never been entirely stable, was very finicky with memory timings, and had occasional lockups even at completely stock settings. GB dropped BIOS support for the board about a year later. And it was a high-tier board (around $200 at the time if I remember correctly). After 6 mos with the GB board I sold it and used the same DDR2 & processor I ran on it for my then newly purchased Max Formula, which ran stable and got better over time with additional BIOS updates. I like Asus because of their long-term BIOS support, especially for their ROG boards, though I'm not sure whether they do the same for the Sabertooth and their other boards are well.
I really want to like the UD5H, and yes I know the board is still relatively new, but GB supposedly really committed itself to their Z77 lineup since their Z68 products didn't pan out too well. I want a company that stands behind their product long-term. If I have to pay more for that service then I will, for peace of mind. [For the record, I know Asus has its problems too (esp for RMAs) and their god-awful slow web site.]
every product launch lots of people have no dramas and have a perfect system but some experience issues. It's not a perfect world and especially at start of a product life you'd expect some possible niggling issues with different hardware configurations. I find it a bit silly reading one of the reviews where the dude experienced a problem and made a conclusion that ALL ivy based setups (including the other 85% of people around him) are experiencing problems and anyone that pretested must be hiding some crazy problem. That's ridiculous.
NLight i can tell you that i have not had any random freezing. i test my gear for extreme OC mainly. I also have built some machines for demo systems etc so there are machines like that in which i would obviously be concerned if i experienced random freezing and would try to get to the bottom of it so the first point may have to do with a particular hardware combination or a faulty product, random shutoffs too (but with random shutoffs it can be RAM related!). RAM instability can be manifested differently to previous gens and shutoffs or hard crashes/restarts can be part of that!
Yes USB detection issues are there for getting into bios on some peripherals. This is never 100% right at launch of a platform. Ive personally experienced issues with Corsair mouse not working in bios for example and some keyboards for which ive had uipdated bioses and fixed the issue. If there is a problem, people report it and have specific hardware info that it happens with and Taiwan replicates the issue, they will fix it up, not a big deal!
Laggy bios navigation with mouse, not sure about this, it seems ok to me but to be honest i usually hit ESC as soon as I enter bios and go into advanced side and use a keyboard. Laggy bios navigation may also be a sign of incorrect compatibility that bios guys could address so once again if some experiences a problem like that it should be report and Taiwan will replicate and fix the problem no drama.
If you are concerned about launch products and niggling issues wait until dust settles, see what hardware combinations people are running and then decide imo...
Some of the hardware I've used in my testing includes. Ram wise i didnt test them all with full timings and mHz rating but just mild OC on demo machines. TridentX and RipjawX ive tested more extensively as well as Team Group sticks at an OC event
Corsair AX750 and AX1200 PSUs
Antec HCP1200 PSU
Thermaltake 1200W PSU
Gskill Trident X 2600 kit
Team Group 2600 kit
Gskill Ripjaw X 2133 kit
Corsair Dominator 2000 c9 kit
Geil 2133 kit (forget the name of model)
Corsair 1866MHz Vengeance kit
Kingston HyperX kit 2133 iirc
various SSD hdds from Corsair and kingston, WD raptors
You have to take neweggs reviews with a grain of salt, there is a tremendous disparity of skills/knowledge(male ego) in the user community, not to mention hardware configurations.Quote:

You do have to accept a certain degree of issues on any new hardware platform, but would have thought most hardware vendors would learn from their mistakes (fat chance) over time.
I'm joining the club on the UD5 and looking forward to playing around with a GigaByte board again. :up:
Hi peeps just thought id share soma wid u guys. If you save a profile from an older bios then load it onto say F8a you MIGHT hav issues like system boot then switches off then ON...happend to me around 4 times in a row...then PC boots up fine...Only thing is DDR voltage goes back to 1.5v when i prev had set it too 1.41v.
This issue doesnt happen straightaway happens every few boots. I noticed in bios F8a that TPM module options is under peripherals. When i load my prev saved profile (From an earlier bios) that TPM option does not show under peripherals.
Ive now just entered all my settings manually and just waiting to see if i get the issue again.
When im on my desktop everything is running sweet (Rock solid)
I prev had issues with stuttering videos on GTX 680 ive just found out it was my TV Sammy UE46d6530 (HDMI) You have to enable GAME MODE on your TV and the stuttering disappears.
EDIT: still had same issue..so it cant be the profiles. Tryin Bios F7b now
Prior to BIOS F6 I had some issues but ever since upgrading it's been rock solid. There are only 2 legitimate negative reviews on Newegg. At this point in time I'd consider this board one of the most solid Z77 boards available. Plus its the best price.Quote:

Thanks guys (dinos22, itznfb, chawks2) for the detailed and very helpful replies to my post. I'm no newbie when it comes to system builds but I tend to be hesitant on any new product launches, as I'm sure many of you are. And yes, when I look at Newegg reviews I don't weight them nearly as much as forum threads like this one dedicated to the product at hand. You addressed most of my main concerns with the UD5H.
I've narrowed my choices to either the UD5H or Sabertooth. I posted in another thread that I'm not particularly sold on the latter's Thermal Armor but after reading more positive comments that it really does work, it's made my decision even harder. My current Max Formula ROG board has been the most stable I've ever had, and Asus was good at regularly releasing updated BIOSes to address various issues, none of which caused and major trouble. I would only buy a Sabertooth or ROG board from Asus because I feel they don't provide the long-term support for their mainstream boards like they do with their gaming/premier boards. Of course, that's probably the case with most mb manufacturers.
The UD5H has strong appeal because it offers so many features for the money and has, perhaps, the best power delivery of any Z77 mb I've seen. I also like the "extra" distance between the socket and first DIMM slot on these boards [some ATX boards can be quite cramped when it comes to spacing]. But the best point is perhaps is the price--certainly GB has Asus easily beat in that area, at least imho. The P877V boards are overpriced, esp the Deluxe model.
What I wonder is how warm does the socket area get, say, with a large cooler such as a TR Silver Arrow or Noctua NH-D14? Have any of you taken temp readings with an air cooled setup?
My system could really use an upgrade. Dunno if I'm gonna wait this out a bit longer or bite the bullet and forge ahead.
who said that thermal amour helps???????
i stuck to f5 because my usb keyboard wouldnt work on even f6

Backstory : I have the dreaded H100 pump noise problem and for the moment i cant do any of the fixes that are spread of the internet so the only thing i could do was to modify the molex for the pump power and get it plugged into the CPU fan header ( this is a 4 pin header out of wich i only connected 2 pins ( + and - most probably )
My question is , how can i set it in the bios so that the CPU fan header gives the pump 90 % of power ( as if it would give 90% speed to the CPU fan )
Sorry for my english and glad to be in the Gigabyte z77 UD5H club :D , btw F7b is rocking for me
Some new BIOS on TT forum.
HardOCP did some torture testing without the fans and had no issues.Quote:

With the fans the temps take a noticeable drop. [Yes, it's a P67--but the TA on the Z77 has actually been improved over its predecessor].
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZFRi...feature=fvwrel
Keep in mind that the TA can also be completely removed if desired. I guess the best thing is that it's warrantied for 5 years. Still, the Sabertooth Z77 is quite expensive for the features you get, so I'm still leaning towards a UD5H. I may wait for the ATX Assassin/Sniper boards or even a Max Formula V if I can stretch the budget. I don't want any M3 board--too limited for me.
Ugh still waiting on my microcenter to get the UD5H back in stock.
I have a reviewer friend he reviewed the sabertooth and said that the TA made things worse, funny enough he left that part out of the review, as i feel many reviewers do, You really think you are the only person who wants to know if the armour makes temps better? lol I am sure everyone who gets that board wants to test that. TO me it is a simple thing, you add on a jacket with some vents it isn't going to be cooler than if you didn't wear the jacket.Quote:

Anyways yea you should be fine with either choice.
BTW stasio the new and old BIOSes, i see you just posted newer dated F7 for the UD5H/
you should ask them to order it for you.Quote:

F7 so far so good. Ive had so many issues from day 1...But once you hav all the voltages setup proper ! It's rock solid..im gona put up some more benchies soon.
Dont give up peeps I nearly did. I started with F4 + Gskill sticks.
IMC + VTT voltages i think is the key to most issues. It needs to be set higher than most older boards ive owned.
This reminds me of what was happening with my ASUS P67. USB keyboard (G15) would bluescreen my machine after 3 days consistently on USB3 ports. (solved by BIOS update one year later)Quote:

The logic behind your argument is quite obvious, for I won't debate the fact that the TA would certainly trap heat and increase temps without the fans. Trust me, I'm not entirely sold on the idea--that's why I'm waiting for the Max V Formula. ROG boards undergo more thorough testing than Asus' mainstream product line, which includes the Sabertooth series. I'm also taking a close look at the MSI Z77A-GD65 which appears to be one of the most stable Z77 boards thus far and it appears to be one hell of an overclocker for the money, though my experience with MSI has been mixed in the past.Quote:

Looks like several mb manufacturers are having issues with Z77 USB detection and the like. Reminds me of the SATA 3 issues with the P67, though not nearly as severe.

have you tried red USB ports or USB ports close to the sound card btw?
ive reported issues with your keyboards, hopefully they can provide a fix in the upcoming bioses :)
Loving this mobo, i keep updating bios. Which is the newest I am on F8A from 5-3 right now, is F7 newer than 8b?
i think that new F7 that released is dated newer.
some users were reporting that the Intel USb 3.0 driver was causing them to BSOD that is why i suggested it.
Check onboard USB header there is a port specifically for Charging..If you have plugged something into this port then try taking it out and use a non charging USB header. Or just remove while you test. Its a long shot no idea if it will help but its worth a try.
Back in the days i used get this issue where the keyboard was not detected all i did to fix this was to use a ps/2-USB adapter and voila it would work.
The UD5 doesnt have a Ps/2 port. Im guessin there must be a bios option to enable specific types of keyboards.
I switched on today using latest F7 bios. It turned ON n OFF 4 times before booting i prev set my DDR volatge to 1.41v it went up to 1.5v on its own. (This happens randomly)
This is the only issue i have at the mo..im increasing IMC + VTT 1 step at a time now to see if this resolves my issue.
Id really like to know if the F7 bios supports low voltage dimms and has Gskill memory support been fully sorted.

Hey guys
Today i tried my new UD5. But i have problem with network. No internet access.
I tried to update BIOS, new windows installation, two different cables (they are working on laptop) and no success :down:
The strange thing is that IP-TV is working normally. Just internet doesn't.
http://shrani.si/t/3N/1x/1TMudian/d.jpg
interesting, did you try both ports? IMo possibly bad NIC, i would RMA.
Yes i tried both ports :down:
But why IP-TV works normally?
Nooo this is not happening :shakes:
Do you guys have any suggestions before RMA?
Gents, I am attempting to leverage the mSATA port on this board, but for whatever reason my RunCore SSD is not being found.
Is there a special configuration in the BIOS I am missing? Currently, I have the Intel SATA set to RAID, but have tried IDE/AHCI also, but no drive detected?!
UD5H - BIOS = F5. Thanks for any suggestions.(there is no drive on port 5 installed)
I don't know if this has been asked before (I searched and haven't found)...
Does anyone know what kind of thermal compound comes applied to the PCH heatsink?
Is it any good or should it be replaced for another TIM, like Arctic Cooling MX-2?
Reason of my question is because of the PCH temperatures.
ATM PCH temperature is 55ºC but it will go a bit higher up to 58ºC. Ambient temperature ~25ºC.
I'm not sure if those temps are OK or if should and can be improved by changing the TIM.
I know it can be improved by adding a fan blowing air directly on the heatsink because I tested and temperatures got lower but I don't recall exactly how much.
There is another motherboard, an Intel DH61BE [picture] running with a G840 CPU and the PCH temps go up to 77ºC (but usually ~65ºC). Adding a fan blowing air directly on the small heatsink makes it 43ºC.
Those are the first LGA 1155 boards I ever used so I'm quite unfamiliar with the PCH temperatures.
hi i got z77xudh5, couple whit a celeron g530 , bios f7 im try to oc , my memory to 2400 mghz but in MIT i cant get more that 21.3 multi for my memory ( stock are 2133 mghz ) , what wrong whit my septup? sorry for my bad english
The available multiplier range is limited by processor.
If you have an SSD plugged into the port SSATA5 that will interfere with the mSATA port. As port 5 and the mSATA port are on a switch, so you can use either or.Quote:

Try F11a BIOS.
Be sure to have Intel and VIA drivers (both) installed for USB.

Took my Sabertooth back, and got a UD5H (plus $50 refund). Hopefully this board will get my ram over 2350Mhz (I know the ram and IMC can do it).
Cant even get 2300Mhz on here. However, at 2275Mhz, with the same CPU speed (4.8Ghz), primary timings (10-11-11-25-1T), and most of the other timings the same or similar, the UD5H is 27 seconds faster at Spi32m then the Sabertooth.

BTW on the UD3H 4 of those parts for USB 3.0 are ran only on the VIA controller, it isn't a hub but rather a 4 port controller. The first two ports are direct intel USb 3.0 and the other 4 are VIA, and the VIA run faster.
Is one of the NICs on the UD5H and Intel one? There is a driver on the disc for an Intel NIC, but there is no marketing of it that I can find (like ASUS does).

Help!!!!!!
is your backup bios still the old bios?
there is one think you can try
short pins 6 & 7 on the MBIOS and try and get it to force recover. Try starting with pins shorted or try shorting after it turns on
strange that backup bios is doing the same thing, sounds as though you also flashed main to backup bios :S
pins 6 and 7 are the two middle legs of the bios that are on the opposite side of that while marker (which indicates pin1 or first leg of the IC)
All OK now.
Yes sorry for late reply. All is ok now. Had to do a full cmos clear along with disconnect EVERYTHING except for psu power cable keyboard and monitor connected to igpu, and 1 stick of ram finally it posted.
okay cool. next time you can corrupt the main BIOS also by just holding down the power button and releasing it at a certain time, and pressing it down again. i forgot how to do it.

The problem is related with Windows 7 limitation and VIA VT800 USB 3.0 chip support. We strongly advise to connect any USB device(s) to the Intel controlled USB port(s) (located below the RJ-45 LAN port) before the VIA USB 3.0 controller driver is installed.
The link for this driver is:
http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList...r_via_usb3.exe
I have an open case with them. Their answer was to try a different mSATA card in the board (as if I have tons of these lying around). My last response was to provide confirmation the drive was working properly in my ATOM mDELL.Quote:

interesting i never has an y issue with the VL800, I just plug into those ports or intel. Perhaps uninstall the VLI driver?
I know the UD3H uses the VLI controller, while the UD5h and Sniper 3 use the hub, which is different.

Why my UD5H stuck when i enter bios after my o/c settings fail? X48-DQ6 used to stuck when in bios also. Is there any idea?
Clear CMOS.
I experienced this on UD3 + UD5. USB would freeze in bios and fans would spin up indicating a lock. Clear CMOS works but there is a better way. The trick is to get it to go into the safety mode while retaining your information so you can adjust your overclock. I experienced this only when setting the memory slightly too tight.
1. Power on PC
2. Switch power off @ psu during post. Try to get it when the post code says 45, though ive done it at 15 and it works 90% of the time... 100% @ 45
3. Wait 1 second
4. Power on PSU
5. Hit power button
The bios will go into the failed oc recovery mode at default clocks and timings. I have not ever experienced a lockup/hang in this mode. From there, your OC settings are retained but not actually applied.
If you set memory timings during this then save and quit, sometimes you experience a 51 hang. Just hit the reset button and it will go into "failed oc" mode (not failed oc recovery.) immediately save and quit and if your timings are good it should post properly.
just my 2cents on this matter and how i get around it ;)
yea if your OC isn't stable an OC recovery doesn't' kick in then you will freeze in the UEFi. it seems that the UEFi puts a load on the CPU possibly like 30% or 50% even as the BIOS CPu temp isn't idle temp.
Sin maybe you can talk with your contacts over at gigabyte as they may listen to you, I tried to talk with Gigabyte but just got the run around.
Issues I am having.
1. Samsung green ram will not clock past 2133. Ram has been proven to overclock up to 2400-2600 even 2800. At first if you selected anything higher then 2133 it would select that option but would not apply it. Now it apply it but will not boot. I have set vdimm up to 1.7 vtt to 1.200 and imc to 1.195-1.200 and timings up 13 13 13 32 1t and still nothing. The only thing I get are what sound like 10 or so short fast beeps.
2. Only the 2 usb3.0 ports below the ethernet port work for my keyboard and mouse in bios for the back ports. I can use the front panel usb2.0 headers. I bought a $2.50 2 port usb 2.0 pci front panel adapter just for the keyboard and mouse.
3. The UEFI bios will lock up on me when overclocking. Now that I see your comment about Uefi putting a load on cpu, makes some sense as I dont think the system was stable yet when it was locking up. But I do believe it was locking up while the system was stable.
4. Come to find out the issue I had a few days ago did not turn out to be a bad flash or corrupt bios but just the fact after a flash the system does not like my usb3.0 flash drive connected to front panel header. After the first boot its ok and doesn't care its only after flashing the bios.
All my hard ware is in my sig under main rig.
I have seen similar unusual behavior with the USB ports on the UD3H ONLY (on the keyboard USB ports). The UD5H does not seem to have this issue. Additionally, I had navigated to the Intel site and downloaded the newest USB3 drivers available. However, obviously this does not do anything for the VIA chipset USB3 drivers (which I believe is the issue).Quote:

As for the usb drive it has worked just fine with my x58a-ud5 and x58a-oc but they didnt have front panel usb3.0. I have not tried the flash drive in the back panel usb3.0 ports but who wants to reach around their every time. The drive is a Corsair Flash Voyager 8gb usb3.0 drive.
HELP ¬!!
Just built my new system, GA-Z77X-UD5H Wifi, with i3570K, and cannot get the beast to power up, I've stripped the board out , 1 stick of memory and the cpu and nothing!! apart from the power up button on the motherboard which just flashes..
Pulling hair out as can't find any help on this.
Grateful for you advice
Gary
Have you cleared the CMOS ? its like the board is in hibernate/sleep or something.
You could also try switching to the other bios.
Oh & when asking for help you should have a sig so people can see what u got :)
#### Edit #####
Oh yeah & welcome to XS you long time lurker you..... 2006 & this is your 1st post?
HI and thanks for coming back,Quote:

I've not uploaded my sig with bits as its just the motherboard , CPU and and enermax suppy 650W, which i've just plugged back into my old system which sprang into life.
If it was that the bios was too old to for the ivybridge...I expect it would at least still do something...thinking the board is dead but really looking for some knowledge here.
Long time member, good board.
PS will work on Sig once this thing boots
Cheers

Do the ports work for you in Windows?Quote:

The fix is meant to be to install the VIA drivers while having things connected to the Intel ports (next to the Ethernet port). Didn't work for me though and I am now RMAing my board after trying lots and lots of different things to no avail.
