Assume F1 new bios for the b3 stepping mb is in fact the old F7 from b2?

No.
F7(B2) dated 28.Jan
F1(B3) dated 14.Feb

[Falkentyne]

What's new in that bios?
Is PLL overvoltage there?

If it isn't, and that's the only bios out, well....

[jackbrennan2008]

The place i purchased my motherboard has the new B3 model in stock now so i'm applying for an exchange.

They told me in an email that i will have to wait until april, but now they have stock for sale i'll just send it back and go a week or two without my desktop. Saves me from organising it later on.

[Eldonko]

stasio do you know why there is a new naming scheme? Do you know if B3 BIOS works in B2?

Have there been any hardware changes to the B3 other than a new chipset?

No.
F7(B2) dated 28.Jan
F1(B3) dated 14.Feb

[nijel]

The two P67 SATA 6GB/s ports are gray (white on B2). Does this qualifies for hardware change?
Also I heard they fixed the upside down "POWER" button.

[sin0822]

lol tha power button was upside down?

lol i am wondering if the BIOSes are interchangable as well.

[stasio]

New beta BIOS F8f is out.

[stasio]

According to UD7-B3 Manual and BIOS F3a showing no PLL Override.

how you liking SB?looks like your having fun

P.S ignore the trolls,they lie and cheat

[Eldonko]

Gigabyte really could be more clear on BIOS labeling lol. We have F8x and after that F8f? How does that make any sense? Also now we have different BIOS versions for B3 for some reason. On GB website F7 is the latest for B2 and there is no update for B3 so who knows what the latest version is for that.

[Lanek]

I can be wrong, but the "x" bios are not on the classic beta bios series. There are specially designed for some features ( like the unlocked 59 multi ) Other it's A;B,C;D;E; F etc.

[dupcengier24]

Did is the Gigabyte has confirmed that it intends to introduce full UEFI implementations (friendly graphical interface with 1024x768 resolution,support mouse,more languages - Asus efi bios currently support 6 languages ,Msi efi bios support 15 languages and other efi features )) to their bios the socket 1155, AM3 + and future sockets ??? because for now uses it hybrid efi bios.

quotation from page http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...px?pid=3761#ov
DualBIOS™ 3TB+ HDD Support (Hybrid EFI Technology)
Hybrid EFI Technology combines the benefits of GIGABYTE's mature BIOS platform including stability and compatibility with 3rd party products with 3TB+ HDD support from EFI technology, allowing GIGABYTE to offer the best of both worlds through a quick and easy BIOS update using GIGABYTE's @BIOS utility that is freely available from the GIGABYTE website.
one could surely do with the Bios would be chip version of the classic elements of efi bios and full efi bios with support for mouse-friendly graphical user interface, support for multiple languages.

[sin0822]

i think the only reason we got F8X is because Dino requested a BIOS with 58x multi.
dupcengier yes that is their plans but no one knows how long. Either way its looking like this platform is very immature and needs to be matured before we see good BIOSes.

Yes, if You have 1156 bolt kit.

UUPS.... with F8f bios in my system GA-P67A-UD7 Windows7 not boot. Stops with black screen when try to boot windows from my Intel X25-M SSD 160gb g2 on Intel SATA 3.0 (after post "Operating System Loading...". With other bioses F7e, F8x wit the same parameters in bios (only switch from IDE to ACHI mode) there is no such problems. I have 6 Hdds, 2 of them on Intel Sata 3.0, others on marwell controllers. Plus DVD on Intel SATA 2.0. Any others have the same problems?

[nijel]

Just got email from Gigabyte to replace my board:

[sin0822]

that is nice, at least they don't ask for an NDA to be signed like i heard about ASUS board at some small shop they asked teh guy to sign an NDA for ASUS.

Yeah, I read that too. It's ridiculous.
BTW GB are FAAAST!!!
Got my B3 board already shipped and prepaid return label for the B2 board emailed to me.
Great service GIGABYTE!

CPU Internal PLL option is definitely available in F1.

[dupcengier24]

Hello,Did Gigabyte hybrid efi bios, running in 32-bit or 64 bit mode and is immediately available to boot the system, all memory. If your motherboard bios P67 B3 operates in 16 bit mode and is available for the latter only 1 MB of memory??

[Johnny87au]

Pretty sure u can mount the ifx14 horizontally..And not have any issues with the dimms...
