andressergio is 10b best for the gigabut?

yes mate nice and fast bios

[Hoss331]

Mine still shows x16 link width but oddly doesnt show anything else. Quick boot feature allows you to boot quicker, about 4-5 seconds faster when enabled on mine.



reboot time

[stasio]

yes mate nice and fast bios

I think this BIOS F10b still have problem in Windows 32-bit, reading memory(2x2GB) 3.25 GB instead of 3.5 GB,old AHCI ROM 1.07.

[andressergio]

Yes hoss same here, cpuz shows the same

my reboot time is longer as im on raid 0 2x500 seagates 7200.11 and dual boot slows a bit but i get 9 seconds less




Cheeeeez

stasio, didnt know but on 64 bits works as a charm, tough im testing this new one and confirm that mem scores higher latency and bandw but well...

[tyreman]

Ran bios 10i here but all it does is basically "hide" the dos dmi pooling screen, its not really quicker.
you can't see bios/mb info on mainboard tab in cpuz
ram latencies here were about 82.5

Went back to 10f and all good, can see bios info in mainboard tab now on cpuz and ram latencies are 64.4
BUT I can't run Gpuz it crashes error.
i did get newest nvidia drivers so that may be Gpuz issue with them.

no problems here mate with GPUZ neither with new 195.62 drivers bios just fine and yes its faster...10 - 9 seconds on my system less to boot, yes latencies are a bit more but its not new cauz since F10e they've been doing this, i could get more OC on 8,5 multi as maybe they modified timmings on chipset..

Andressergio...You using to 10b?

[andressergio]

Andressergio...You using to 10b?

i was now testing F10i seems nice all my OC works as a charm, faster to boot, just using the PC as always no problems at all.

Why you ask ?

Cheeezzz!!

[tyreman]

I think at one time you using 10b.

+1 , ran a quick prime test last night with F10I and so far so good. No real surprises other than no MB info in cpuz and maybe a glitch in memset since it now displays ram size just as 2048 instead of 2x2048.

[In-Fluence]

I'm eyeing-up a v1.6 board at the moment, I could go for a 1.1 too, are either better than the other?

jojo !!! kick ass run Hoss congrats

yes mate i was using in till yesterday but think i will stay on this bios, seems nice, hope giga keeps improving this great board

[clo007]

Anyone have a spare i/o shield for the EP45-UD3R or UD3P they would let me have or sell me for $5/shipped? Please PM me. I need one ASAP.

[nugzo]

Soo hows the s775 life been treatin u all? Andre, Hoss, 007, radaja, etc? I miss u guys, yall need to step on up!! Just for comparison, i haven't tried anything under 4200mhz with the i7, but at 4200, i'm crushing all my benchies with the ud3p and q9650 @ 4.5 8GBgskill1200. I hesitated for a while before i jumped in, but i can say its 100% worth it. SLI and Xfire with the same board? Thats good stuff! SLI without nForce..Thats good stuff! I picked up one of these, new in box, from a junkie for cheap ($600) and played around with it. I changed the power supply and added a TRUE and was at 4200 Stable in 30 minutes with the factory 9gb of ddr3 running it at 1600. This bargain ASUS was killing my water cooled q9650. I sold the 9650 rig and went all out on a new i7 rig (in my sig) and i'm loving it. My new Gigabyte ex58a UD7 will be here Tuesday so maybe i'll run in to some of yall in the Gigabyte EX58 thread. If your not in there, i recommend coming as soon as you can! Sell that s775 Monster while you still can and step it up! lol STEP it UP!! Andre your single 285 is getting lonely. Wouldn't it be nice to add 1, 2 or even 3 more 285's to your machine? You can do it if you step up!! lol

[tool_462]

He can run SLI just fine on the UD3P

It isn't so much about the scores on the 775/DDR2/Quad stuff...it is all about the fun and tweaking

How can he run SLI? MultiGPU cards dont count The "fun and tweaking" applies to the i7's as well ....plus they're much faster!! but who cares about speed right?

[Hoss331]

Check post #4991 for SLI

[nugzo]

Check post #4991 for SLI

WOW Thanks......i guess he CAN do SLI. Has anybody else tried it? does it scale like a true SLI system? Thats awesome.. Gotta read up on that one.

[Hoss331]

Not sure who else has tried it, but it sure looks to scale pretty well to me.

[ACK]

dont worry mate...

if it don't let you do it on Qflash just use FLASHSPI on DOS with a bootable pen drive and go back to F10b

Cheers
Sergio

Thank u very much, I go back to F10b as you said and problem solved. F10b is a great BIOS.

I am still trying to figure out why I can't run dual channel mode. I am on my 4th mobo and had upgraded my PSU. I think I need to pull everything out of the case and see what happens then.

Gigabyte needs to give you a life time free motherboard supply, I remember at the beginning of the year seeing you post about only being able to run single ch mem. If you are still running single ch on a giga board you are truly a loyal customer, someone from gigabyte needs to read this thread and see the issues you have had and make it right. I would have abandoned gigabyte long ago and joined zsamz in the "I hate gigabut" club. Honestly I would be extremely pissed off and never purchase another product from them.

its nothin new either the board works great or it has memory slot problems
piss poor quality control
but not bein able to run duallchannel is totally unacceptable

clo007 are they sending you the same board back ??
