I haven't played with the Z77X-UP5 but I doubt you can "break" or "kill" the BIOS. Most likely your OC settings were unbootable and it just reset itself.Quote:

From what I understand: the bios chip's content is copied into system memory at time of boot-up. The bios chip is not "consulted" again, until the subsequent system re-boot.Quote:

My UD5H board shipped from the factory with version F4. Have since updated the Primary to version F10a, and the backup bios is now on version F9h.
next time vivi press ALT+F10 or F11 and it will flash the backup with the main. that is what you have to do when a BIOS is corrupted. It will allow you to chose which. if you do ALT+F11 then it will ask about a fixture or flip a switch, it will load the main BIOS into the CMOS, then you can flick a switch and it will write to that BIOS. F10 might be easier i think is just main to backup, i have to recheck it.

Im looking at these Giga z77boards. The UD5H is pretty reasonable, any advantage to the more expensive UD/UP5's just for benching?
they have thunderbolt /shrug

i cant boot at all in those slots only in 1-2 for single channel...still waiting for a bios so i cant use ivy on my p67 ud7's they put up with alot more then these 2 boards did.
not picking up another
why don't you RMA?Quote:

yea tons of those F9 betas have a lot of issues like that, id just not bother with that BIOS then.
you won the UP5 right? i think youll like it!
Ye i switched back to f9d on the main & will re flash the backup with the next one out.
Think i might have got it just wait for Honda to update & see who is where....
I still cant believe GB put a UP5 up as a prize thats thats flipn awesome.
F9q running great here, i had this problem once before with an earlier UEFI, after a CMOS-reset everything was fine again, try it!Quote:

Hi guys,
I have a GA G1 Sniper M3 and have troubles with Memory OC.
The board would not POST with 2400 multi or above.
I tried 3 diferent mem kits and 2 CPU`s. Relaxed 2-nd and 3-rd timings.
VMem up to 1.75V and VTT, IMC up to 1.2V. 3 diferent BIOS and no go. My mem is 100% memtest stable with 2200 multi and BCLK adjustment to 2350 MHz. My friend with Asus told me that I may need PLL Override, but here is not an option.
Any idea?
2400 .....9-11-11-21-1
http://i8.aijaa.com/b/00565/10656732.jpg
Internal PLL is auto in the background if the BIOS you have has no button or on the latest F9q its in advanced frequency settings.Quote:

Hi, thanks fo replay. I update my signature.
I have 3 different kits of DDR3 with different IC's.
My 24/7 kit is 2x4GB Adata G Series V2 1600MHz Cl9 with Hynix BFR chips. It works perfect with AM3+ and X79 platforms:
http://i.imgur.com/KoeXYl.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/tkfy7l.jpg
Second kit is G SKill Ripjaus 2x2 GB. I am not sure for IC`s because the are rebranded. I used them mostly with my Sandy Bridge CPU, but the can do 2700 MHz tested on Gulftown. I guess they are PSC or BBSE.
http://i.imgur.com/uK8Tj.jpg
3-rd kit is with Elpida Hyper IC`s and I do not expect to make 2400 MHz, but try them anyway.
I do not have option for PLL Override with latest F8 BIOS for Gigabyte G1 Sniper M3. I can`t find version F9q for this board. I know that it is not top OC board and I am just wondering is this the maximum of the board or I am missing something?
Both of these should be good for at least booting 2400+ imoQuote:

What happens when you try to boot 2400, do you just get failed oc or beeps?
Sorry my mistake I went into UD5H mode..... Perhaps Sin or Dinos could find out which bios has int pll either in the background & or which BIOS has the option listed before we get carried away as your friend may well be right.Quote:

I don`t have a beeper installed. When I set 2400 or above multi the board make one restart loop and load failed save settings.
Not sure what IC's that kit uses.... looks like it was this kit http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=227 which I think is BBSE going by your 6,8,6 1000+Quote:

If that kit is BBSE I can’t see why it would not boot I find BBSE mega flexible.... it boots just about anything! Have you tested as slack as 9,12,9 with a range of voltages?
Yes, 10-12-10 with up to 1.75V.
Now with Single Stage cooling and Adata kit I am able to running Super Pi 32M ~2400MHz(BCLK=109x22 Mem Multi), but still no go with 24 and bove multis.
Maybe a multi problem or more likely a very poor CPU..... any of your friends got a rig they can test your CPU in above 2400?
It is my second CPU. With first was the same. May be I need to buy another board but first will test the CPU with my friend`s board.
http://i.imgur.com/yjhSFl.jpg
But still it strange to run SP 32M and not to POST at the same frequency.
Didn’t realise you could do 5.5GHz.... I guess unless your IMC is poor on both the CPU's you have/had which is unlikely it’s got to be the board or the RAM. Have you tested with just one stick in each slot just to see if it will boot 2400+ to rule out the CPU?
I just try this:
On slot ddr3_2 with both sticks one by one:
http://i.imgur.com/zFgmXl.jpg
On slot ddr3_1 won`t POST with 24 and above.
I would say that rules out the CPU then.... got to be the board/bios as the RAM is previously tested & the CPU can at least boot 2700.
Anybody watching the Gigabyte/HWBot Classic Challenge?
I looked it up the other day & was quite impressed with some of the times over there. I am playing along over here just for fun & to see how close I can run against the leader board. It’s hotting up... I just had a quick look & see Aristidis & Vivi have swapped 1st & 2nd place. Yesterday Vivi had 1st place with an awesome time but has now been trumped by Aristidis by a whopping .750 or so!!!
Check it out here http://hwbot.org/competition/gbt_cla....5g_low-clock/
wow yea they are really doing a good job. RipjawX can do 2600mhz cas 7>?

Re: http://www.station-drivers.com/forum...hp?f=32&t=3964
Why aren't these VIA USB 3.0 drivers (that you posted at station-drivers.com) installing on my Z77-UD5H system?
The only USB 2.0 or 3.0 drivers that do install and work (besides the Intel USB 3.0 drivers) are the USB 2.0 native Windows 7 64-bit drivers from Microsoft, dated 2006.
So, I'm beginning to think that the UD5H board's non-Intel USB 3.0 ports are not really VIA, but some other 3rd-party brand.
Or: are the VIA USB 3.0 controllers using Intel drivers?
Note: these VIA 810 (version 1.90A) drivers also fail installation:
http://www.via-labs.com/en/support/downloads.jsp
Attachment 129196
The VIA USB 3.0 firmware updater [not pictured] detects the existing version as 9.50, then goes through the motions of updating the firmware, but after system re-boot, hasn't actually updated the firmware at all.
http://www.gigabyte.us/products/prod...px?pid=4139#sp
Attachment 129197
The first 4 and the last 3 USB devices use MS drivers.
The other 6 USB devices use Intel drivers.
No VIA devices are listed in Device Manager, yet all system USB 3.0 ports are working OK.

Side note: the Z77-UD5H beta bios F9q halts the boot process at the initial bios screen, if the Atheros secondary ethernet port has been disabled in bios.
VLI810 is a USb 3.0 hub, which doesn't require drivers because it is a hub. Same hub was used on M4E and Z68X/P67A-UD7, never had a driver on those boards.
VLI800 is the 4-port controller.

Z77-UD5H bios version F10 (final?) dated 8/8/2012 has the same boot failure as the earlier beta version F9q.
If the Atheros secondary ethernet port has been disabled in the bios setup, the system will hang at reboot on the initial bios boot screen.
F9o doesn't have the problem.

Hey guys some REALLY good news for samsung ULV owners, i just got a new test BIOS, which I will see if I can post. I can do 2600mhz T1 cas 10 1.7v. 32M stable. Shoudl be new BIOS with the fix out for UP5 and UD5H. Just finished UD5H testing and all seems decent, UP5 testing now in affect. This solution will apply to users with 2-4 sticks, as we already know you can do 2600mhz with a single stick.
Im on F9q & all is good.Quote:

massman will be happy :yepp:
MD5 of the bios should be b6357f9055be0e251d14c539626ef15f if you want to check your download integrity.
I usually do zip file, but it is a pain. How is the integrity of the BIOS messed up this way? Can you explain?
Using the free program "7zip", it's quite simple to right-click the bios file and create a .zip file.
http://majorgeeks.com/7-Zip_d4603.html
It's not as common nowadays, but in the old dial-up modem days a file transfer over the internet could occasionally introduce undetected file errors.
Note: the 7zip program has 2 "bitness" versions, and requires the correct "bitness" (32-bit vs. 64-bit) to match the Windows version being used.
Any file integrity error caused during transit will be observable at the time that the file is subsequently un-zipped.
@ vailr I just used Stasio's tweaktown bios & it says F10x after flashing.
P.S Thanks Sin/Stasio :up:
Tried F10x for UD5H and it's bad as hell...not possible to change BCLK above 100.5 MHz:down:
//edit: but huge change with PSC RAM...I wasn't able to set 26x and higher multipliers for memory and now I can:up:
Running fine over here..... as good as f9q with my lv2600's at 102.** ddr 2720
Bios worked wonders for me.. My ram will now do 2600mhz!!!
http://i1150.photobucket.com/albums/...ung2600mhz.png
Yep really helpfull BIOS for RAM...my PSCs now can do 2600 MHz 8-12-7 what wasn't possible with F9...with F9 it did only very unstable 2400 MHz 9-11-9
Just done a quick BCLK check & my chip still makes 110 just as easy as any other BIOS.
What are your settings? I just set everything to default and only set BCLK to 101 MHz...no post and higher VTT and IMC don't help...with F9 just set 105 MHz with other settings on default and everything was ok and stable:shrug:

Each time getting F10, not F10x.
Bios setup screen and CPU-Z both report bios version F10, not F10x.

Any ideas???
Side note: Why did Gigabyte skip UD5H bios version "F9 (final)" altogether?
Was there any documentation on "F10 (final)"?
As a wild guess, maybe the Intel Raid firmware was updated in F10?
Nothing special at allQuote:

Word of warning though once you flash you can’t go back & if you bork it it may affect your warranty.
dude this BIOS is NOT NOT NOT A FINAL release, nor is it officially validated. I only put this up because it has a Samsung fix I wanted to confirm, however it was compiled twice i have two versions of each, however some where missing some fixes so the guy made two new ones and sent them over for testing. the BIOS version isn't important, just confirming the 3 fixes are.
1. Samsung memory OC to 2400 or 2600
2. BIOS profiles save and load properly from USB drive
3. DRAM voltage fix from power cycle on the UP5 TH
4. XMP fixes that Stasio requested are present.
I just wanted to confirm those 4 things. This isn't a BIOS for you to always use.
OK: used atbios latest version B12.0723.1 (instead of the DOS version flasher) and successfully flashed "Stasio's tweaktown bios" to F10x.
Note: the atbios program itself would fail installation on Windows 7 64-bit, but installed and worked fine in Windows XP 32-bit.

At the moment, I'm using the on-CPU Intel HD Graphics 4000, where most others are using discrete PCIe graphics cards.
So, maybe the Gigabyte bios designers should do some further testing under that scenario.
can i ask why you disable it? If you provide me a good reason then it might speed up the issues place in line.
