is there anyway i can find out what revision the board is from the serial number?
Serial number is in the invoice sent to me
I'm just a little impatient... I should get the board tomorrow or Wednesday, it finally got shipped.
Surprised to see that my UD7, Windows 7 64 bit Pro:
Plugged in a running, externally powered SATA drive into the rear ESata/USB 3 ports. Nothing happens until I reboot!
Once Windows sees the drive, if I unplug Windows doesn't notice.
Arn't Esata ports hot-pluggable?
Under XP with a PCI Sata/Esata card all of this worked fine!!!!
anyone know better?
I used the on board esata port once,Quote:

don't know why, never tried it again, my external drive also supports USB2 so i use that instead.
Make sure the eSATA ports are set to AHCI mode in the BIOS, and that the correct drivers are installed. With the default drivers that Windows 7 installed, hot swap didn't work for me. Once I installed the ones from Gigabyte's site (and enabled AHCI) it worked fine.Quote:

I've got a 5870 and I'm trying to install an Nvidia GTX 260+ card to try out the hybrid PhysX mod.
I have the 5870 in the primary PCI-express x 16 slot and the Nvidia card in the bottom slot (x8 slot).
I've followed this guide :
"Assuming you already have ATI card and drivers installed:
1/ Stick in your Nvidia card.
2/ Download Forceware 258.96 and install it.
3/ Restart.
4/ Install hybrid 1.04ff."
When trying to install the Nvidia 258.96 drivers it keeps saying compatible hardware not found.
I thought maybe the card was not seated properly so I tried re-seating it and the fan on the card seems to be spinning so it shouldn't be that.
I don't think it's a Gigabyte issue, but I thought I'd post and ask here in case there is a setting in the BIOS I need to change on the UD7 to get the Nvidia card working? It doesn't seem like it's detected. I would have thought that it would show up in GPU-Z even with out drivers installed, but it doesn't. Only the ATI card is listed.
@ ice - what os are you using?
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.Quote:

Yep, that is what i would do too, try all different slots, perhaps one has to be recognized before the other.
i run two old evga GF7800 cards in non-SLI mode to run three monitors - no problem (mobo - ggbt x58 extreme - very similar to UD7).
hopefully this is not another one of those GF vs ATI not playing well together again :rolleyes:
How many cards do you have in that system all up? Just the two 7800s? or 3 cards?Quote:

I would like to try this bios on my rev1, any chance it would work?
No I have just the two GF7800s.Quote:

Thank you I'm able to OC my 980x to 4.4ghz stable 24/7 from this thread ... You guys are the greatest
I reuploaded the bios here: http://www.4shared.com/file/Tvyuru1-/GOOC2010.htmlQuote:

Here is the summary of changes and features provided with this competition bios:
1. Bios is based on X58A-UD9 bios from 20/8/2010 and X58A-UD7 FB6 bios with a few additions
2. GOOC Lean Mode: disables various options on the fly including smart fan, power states and turbo, LOGO screen, enables USB keyboard/mouse and disables various third party IC functions which are not necessary for extreme OC
3. VCORE RANGE: from 1.0V up to 2.1Vcore (I wonder if there will actually be CPUs that scale with volts up to 2.1 lol)
4. GOOC EXTREME CLOCK: This option removes OCP when enabled
5. GOOC EXTREME TEMP: This options may improve cold bugs when enabled depending on CPU.

Can we have a modified bios for rev1 motherboard?
Not yet. I have the 5870 in the first x16 slot, nothing in the second x16 slot and the Nvidia card in the bottom x8 slot.Quote:

So it wouldn't be a BIOS setting or anything that needs to be changed? Even if I don't have drivers installed for the card should it still show up in GPU-Z or not? It seems to be running, but not showing up in GPU-Z, MSI Afterburner or any of those programs.
First test:
I've done the thinning of voltage to the processor, the remainder going to do yet.
I'm having a problem here with the program Easy Tune. The program is not saving the changes I make. Anyone know why?
