Yea,moved to PreviousBeta BIOS, as is again incompatible with Corsair & Logitech keyboards.
Yeah, just found that out. My K90 stopped working. At least I have a few back ups.Quote:

its labeled the same way on the ud3hQuote:

Also showing Ab post code is being in the BIOS.
It is labeled IMC since X79 as the VCCSA helped on X79 for the IMC, so it was in their original UEFI and it stuck.
Here are the pictures of the two different UD5 boards that I have.Quote:

Its now written under the heat pipe. The thing thats really weird is that they are both rev1.0 boards. It would have made sense if one of them was rev1.1
I seem to remember reading that vccsa could help with memory clocking on x79 but I decided to pass on that platform (for now) primarily due to overall $$ costs.Quote:

GA-Z77X-UP7 -32-Phase Power
Quote:
Gigabyte showed off their new flagship Z77 motherboard, Z77X-UP7 which comes with a supermassive 32-phase power design. It is also one of the first boards on Ultra Durable 5 technology featuring the new International Rectifier IR3550 VRMs. These innovations allow for higher efficiency and a much smaller footprint.. According to a Gigabyte spokeperson, the cost of just having this 32-phase power using IR3550 is equivalent to a low-end motherboard. Other features of this board include Bluetooth 4.0, onboard mSATA slot for mSATA SSDs, 4-way SLI/CrossFireX, Lucid Virtu Universal MVP GPU virtualization, Dual Gigabit LAN and Realtek ALC898 audio.

Hope it won't be too expensive...
I can get in to Windows, pass memtest, LinX AVX, Prime95, whatever, but still get lock ups after 5-10 seconds in the BIOS.
Does your board have blue caps and the gap between the dimm slots?Quote:

Yes, blue caps and gap between the slots.
New official BIOS is out.
Why cant they give us a bios that will work with Corsair keyboards. stability is fine, now please fix the keyboard issue
So I just got the G1 Sniper 3 board (3570K) and I am having trouble with Tri-SLI stability (Gigabyte GTX 670 OC). BF3 and DayZ mod just freeze up after 10 minutes. I made sure that the ATX4P is plugged in and I tried the F5 and F6a BIOS. SLI with 2 cards is just fine and monitoring card temps with PrecisionX. I have an AC unit blowing into the open case so temps go no higher than 40C load.
Suggestions?
when flashing with Qflash on my UD5H, do i have to flash 1 bios at a time and use the dual bios switch to get both ones updated? or does the Qflash get both chips?
Only the bios selected gets flashed... and for good reason as i found out playing with beta bioses

Would it be okay keeping LLC Extreme for 24/7 usage? Or, should I just use LLC Turbo and more voltage to compensate for Vdroop? I'm still not 100% sure on safe 24/7 Ivy Bridge voltage so I'm trying to raise Vcore slowly and only when I really need to.
Use turbo with more vcore. Extreme overvolts, turbo is spot on measured with a DMM. CPU-Z shows it dropping when its not.Quote:

Having problems getting over 4.5 ghz on water :(
The Vcore is jumping around idle its 1.6ghz at 1v then under load it jumps to 1.31v which IMO is too high and I have it set in bios to 1.28v
Also core #2 in Core Temp is well above the others
Attachment 127493Attachment 127492
I don't mind the system stepping down to save power but its going well above my set point.
is there a bios thread that shows what people are set at for stability???
try to set an offset and see how that does. the vcore going to 1.31v is SVID you will have to try offset.
1.31 VID @ 4.55 seems really high to me, and your temps are a little uneven. 99c on one, 70c on the other? wow! :P you could try remounting your water block to see if that helps the temps
i got my UD3 now, and first my logitech classic 200 and mx518 no support when i install windows, i have to use an usb hub on the boards f_usb1 connection, then it works...
then i have testet my cpu to 5ghz at 1.31 on air on 2 other boards, i can do that to on the ud3 boot in windows and stabil in superpi 32m, but when i restart and go in bios it freez, and i have go above 1.45, then it dont... i have used the F10, F11a, F11b bios and same same
do Gigabyte have an unofficial OC bios ? i can see some are using an 04 bios.. please send a PM if i can have that bios :)
I have the G15 Keyboard and The MX518 mouse. The mouse works just fine in bios and windows setup when using the 2 usb ports located directly below the ethernet ports. Or when using a PCi USB front header connection. This has worked since bios F5 for the UD3H for me.
you will freeze in BIOS if your OC is not stable. 5ghz 1.31v on ivy bridge? the UEFI puts a load on the CPU.Quote:

http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1697037
Spreading for more contact area, and a thinner application then the dot method, does best with Ivy.
Too early for anyone to tell just yet. I always do the VID + 10-15% rule. Say your vid is 1.15V, then 1.265-1.3225V should be fine daily if your cooling is good enough.Quote:

1.37 - 1.32
1.38 - 1.332
1.39 - 1.344
1.4 - 1.356 ..... didnt test higher
There's also another new feature in Periferals - Trusted Computing.... TPM Support.... didnt look fast so left it alone!!
Also the Legacy Benchmark Enhancement dont do nothing for me & Spi 32M
yea F9c has voltage issues, other users reporting this as well.
Can someone post his 2600K / UD5H 4.5Ghz settings?

yea haha it is gone, i guess they didn't like it? or it was making things slower?
New bios looks & runs fine so far. few new things like csm??? & control of int pll over voltage.... dont think it makes an difference having control but i like it.
I have a board that is messed up in its head...i get no power sometimes no lights when powered up at all....take pot off then power comes on puts a stock heatsink on no power agian reseat cpu no power at all....i used the board 10hours tops this should not happen i would think?
letting it sit without battery for a few i hope that helps the poor thing.
i would rma it mate, thats isnt normal
You know me dino i kill even the best of mb's,funny thuo both my p67 ud7's have been under dice/ln2 over 100 times and not even a hicup from them.
I did just check it again still no power,at least gigabyte rma was very good with my b2 p67 board when i had to send that back.
*Just got back from microcenter with another ud5h board this one boots np
Is on sale for $190 there
**
This f5 bios likes to freeze up at bios spash screen even when pushed alittle on dice.
whats better then f5? or go back to f4?
you have a UD5H and you are messing with BIOSes F5 and F4? they are pretty old, try out F7 or F8D, they are much more recent.
With Z77 just use GTL, boot up at like mid 4G and like 1.5v or whatever, then move it up in windows, it is much easier that way and less stress on the CPU, as you don't have to boot at 6ghz lol. :)
With bios i normally dont try to fix whats not broken since i only use this setup a few times a month at most.
i do use gtl also and getting this mb to get my 3750k to 5.5 with 1.56v but only dx9 benches.It did seem that the f5 was better for using less voltage.
thanks for all the info with this board sin.
yea man no problem. There are actually benching BIOSes out there for the UD5H. You can PM Dino for it, or i think perhaps he gave them to stasio to put up at TT.
You do have dual BIOS, so you can take a chance and flash a new BIOS see how you like it.
BIOS F9D the most recent seems to be really pleasuring a lot of users, it also has CPU PLL Overvoltage added in there for users to disable if needed, otherwise it is engaged on enable if you OC.
I think a lot of guys like F8D for benching, so it is just a suggestion. The switch allows you to have one BIOS for normal use, and another for benching or testing, the vreg on these boards are excellent, but if you bench LN2 and you want stronger LLC ask dinos for the BIOS or it might be on TT.
2nd that F9d is working great for me.Quote:

good to hear F9D is working well for you. Can you tell me do you need more or less vcore with F7 compared to F8?
I just assembled a Z77X-UD5H
It came with F6 bios, I updated to F8, but it's still unfinished! WTF!
- memory timings and voltage ignored
- boot sequence ignored
So I loaded BIOS version F9d. Is this stuff official? I can now set memory timings & voltage but boot device sequence is still messed up.
Other than that, the hardware is very stable. PCH/Southbridge heatsink (next to the SATA ports) feels hot, 64C, is that normal?
Speedfan core temps will show correct values with offset +20.
Gonna post pics if you guys are nice.
Using ddr3 Samsung M379B5273DH0-YK0, this stuff is awseome if you can get it out of the package
memory timings and voltage ignored? How are the timings ignored? How are you inputting the values?Quote:

How is your boot sequence ignored?
Yeah mobo set correct voltage by itself, running 1600 @ 8-8-8-22 1.35vQuote:

Great mobo, very stable, defect-free as far as I can tell. But the i5 3570k is disappointing.
Cant say I see this behavior, I am still on F5 (no need to upgrade). Try the "HDD BBS Priorities". The only unusual behavior I have seen on the UD5H are USB keyboard problems + mSATA drive(s) not being detected.Quote:

the 4.5ghz for testing? i just toss in 1.25v to be safe, it is easy testing and I don't stress the CPU much. Otherwise id use way below 1.25v. You should only need like 1.2v.
You talk about 2600K?Quote:

http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m...ickBoot18v.png
you know what is odd, i actually got a boot with 2 stiks and teh 2400 divider, the board set some odd settings, but still fine, and i did 32m very easy.All i did was set everything on auto, set command rate to T2 and then voltage to 1.6v and booted straight, i checked the settings and GTL and wrote down the settings. However GTL doesn't give all the setting, and some of the 3rd timings where different than normal under gray, but gray isn't the right setting for the 2nd timings.Anyways if i input the timings from GTL, i can't post even normally, i think perhaps timings combos are the key. However i tried too and I can boot at 2666 with single stick in 1 or 2. I think it is perhaps a 3rd timing that needs to be in lin with a second timings, perhaps it is throwing things off, maybe the IMC gets way too stressed out with the auto timings set for this kit when you set some of the timings. What is odd tho if i try again i cannot get those same auto timings to occur.
when i get power back ill look into it more. Ima use your info try and see if i can get it to work on either board.
Yeah it would be nice to get at least 2400 running easy. I go through as many combo's of voltages & timings as I can think of every time a new BIOS comes out & so far haven’t come up with anything any better than my first go.
I didn’t check with GTL as I think it & ET6 need MDAC or something like that to run & I cut that out of the OS I was using.... :facepalm:
What we need is a nice open BIOS to have a little monkey around with all the mem timings going on in the background :D
Edit: I got GTL & ET6 running the problem was just that I had some required services... think dcom & Windows installer disabled
I think Linux does not fully support the Z77 chipset yet. I'm getting intermittent hang/freeze in Linux but Windows is very stable. I've tried Ubuntu and Mint, any other experiences?
THC and I got a try with the UD5 :-)

CPU-Z says my Z77-UD5H board (bios F9e), 3570k CPU & Samsung 2x 4GB 30nm memory is running:
DDR3 @ 1.28 volts, 11-11-11-29 timings. CPU core voltage hovering around 0.90 volts at idle (1616 MHz.)
CPU-Z shows memory slots 1 & 3 as being occupied, but the UD5H printed owner's manual shows those same memory slots numbered as 4 & 3.
System cannot boot if memory slot 1 is occupied (the slot furthest away from the CPU).
Note: CPU-Z seems to call the memory slot closest to the CPU as "slot 1". The Gigabyte owner's manual calls the same slot as "slot 4".
you are supposed to install in slots 1 and 2 as per the manual.
The owner's manual does not match what CPU-Z says, as far as memory slot numbering.Quote:

That is: "slot 1" is now the slot CLOSEST to the CPU. Which is a change from previous motherboard memory slot numbering.
The previous Gigabyte boards had the slot FURTHEST from the CPU as "slot 1".
Installing memory in slots 4 & 3 (according to the UD5H owner's manual diagram) will result in CPU-Z showing slots 1 & 3 as being occupied, and that "Dual Channel memory" is enabled.
Owner's Manual numbering (going from furthest > nearest to the CPU): 1-3-2-4
CPU-Z numbering (going nearest > furthest from the CPU): 1-2-3-4
If you simply install 2 memory sticks and follow what the printed owner's manual says about memory slot numbering, the system will be unbootable.
Edit: CPU-Z version 1.61 x64.
the manual has it right ;) as you are supposed to install in slots numbered 1 and 2 first.
CPU-z is just a piece of software written by some dudes, it isn't some work of art.
Au contraire.Quote:

Therefore: the printed UD5H manual is WRONG. And: I'm not the only UD5H user noting the error.
I've built 4 ud5h machines all with the memory in slots 1 & 2 according to the MANUAL and they all work fine.Quote:

Gigabyte has a little better idea about how they manufacture their boards then the cpu-z crew does. again the manual is 100% correct.
Also if you look at the pictures I posted, the ram slots are numbered the same as in the manual on the pcb between the msata connector and the 4th ram slot.

Random freezes here too using Ubuntu desktop 12.04 lts. The board is the UD5H, no OC, F8 bios with minimal config, only one ssd, 16 gb vengeance lp and a simple Filco USB keyboard. Some suspects regarding the Wacom Intuos4 I',m using as a mouse as the freeze generally occurs when quickly scrolling.
Update: its a kernel related bug affecting Intel HD 2000, 2500, 3000 and 4000 (IB and SB). Just upgrade to kernel 3.3.6 to get rid of it.

So: for those with the (older?) "blue cap version board", I would still suggest ignoring the printed manual's "use slots 1 & 2" advice, and instead only use slots 3 & 4. Update to the latest bios version, and then see if "use slots 1 & 2" will work.
Does anyone know how to "force update" the backup bios? Had an instance of a corrupted bios, and the system subsequently used the F4 backup bios to automatically return the Primary bios to version F4.
Also: bios version F9h(beta) is now available. I'll be staying with F9e until F9(final) is available.
you can flick the switch to backup the backup BIOS. You have a dual BIOS switch.
Thats weird, I got my first board (blue caps) from newegg back in April. The other 3 ud5h's came from newegg back in early to mid-June with the purple caps. I would RMA that board and hope for a purple cap replacement.Quote:

Previous Gigabyte boards allowed viewing both bios versions via Alt-F9 while viewing the bios setup screen. How to with UD5H?
Yes confirmed, kernel 3.3.6 fixed the problem for me.Quote:

Shipped from the factory, the backup and primary bioses are both identical.
Newegg evidently happened to pick an older UD5H box from their shelf, which they shipped with F4 bios to me.
I'm unaware of any actual difference in operation between the 2 board versions. as long as the bios has been updated to F8 or later.
okay so you power off and flick the switch and then boot up, it will boot into the second BIOS. That is what the switch is for, but don't flick it while the board is on. You can then flash the second BIOS to whatever you want. If you want to do it from the first BIOS you press ALT+F11Quote:

Now both bioses are working.
Was there another way to do it?
I think it's desigend so you can't switch BIOS while the machine is running, so even though you flipped the switch the version didn't change. But it's a qood question, the manual doesn't explain and I never knew what version #s are in main/backup.Quote:
