Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

[pmcguire]

Can anyone help me with this board? I'm totally in the right now.

Ok I installed the board and had everything running fine, my drives were in RAID / AHCI mode. then I stupidly upgraded the BIOS to F3 and all the machine hung at the disk detection phase. Reading around that F4K solves some issues but reintroduces others. Tried it and it was a bit poor and I wish to revert back to F2.

Can't find F2 for download anywhere so I thought that the Gigabyte much vaunted Dual Bios could come into play. I corrupted the bios on purpose so it would have to fall back the backup F2, unfortunately it isn't interested in anything at all, just sits there fans @ 100% and a black screen.

Any ideas?

Even better than the ASUS Rampage II Extreme?

@CodeRush
Ah thanks for the list, seems this board really has not much problems.
May be choosing this over the R2E!

Send BIOS F2

Can someone provide me with a link to the latest UD5 bios? The links provided in the first post do not work for me (myfreefilehosting).

I'm running the Extreme board, i920, Noctua hsf with extra 120mm fan and I'm getting temps of 90C under full load with prime... then it just randomly powers itself down (the entire system).

I'm running someone's recommended voltages from a few pages back, I think ~1.392 in windows vcore and a few other voltage increases.

Anyone got a clue on what it could be?
