wow... so I tried to work with bios f8b and then f7 with nothing but horribleness. I would get the bioses loaded and start fresh from a clean slate then trying to get my old OC settings stable was a disaster... f8b went into a boot post loop every time I would even get half way through my bios configs... I would have to full power the mobo down (power out of the psu) to get it to stop. f7 made it through all the configs but windows would not load... after several hours of this I gave up and went back to f5e. Also, 7f was going the same damn multi-post thing making my areca raid card beeping like a smoke alarm in forest fire... the whole reason I wanted to get a new bios was to avoid that... so I guess all of these gigabyte bioses do this when the board is overclocked?? I am thinking about soldering the buzzer off the raid card at this point. sheesh!
