Gigabyte Latest BIOS

[FrancoisC]

With the latest BIOS for the EX58-UD5 (F4l) my system won't wake from S3. The system wake up, but all fans run 100% and I have no video/sound. I have to turn off the system (power button 4+ seconds) for it to boot correctly again.

My specs:

Gigabyte EX58-UD5 F4l
EVGA GTX 260
6GB Corsair triple channel @ stock
Core i7 920

Was working fine with all previous BIOS, beta or not.

Sounds like you should go back to the working BIOS's then. S3 is very tricky and if you have a BIOS it works with then keep it.

hi stasio,
i have almost same specs from your sing. Same motherboard, intel e8500 (not overclocked yet) 2 gb pc8500 from ocz. and now i`m under bios F5 and seems work fine. I didnt test everything.

I saw you are using the latest bios from ep45-ud3p and let know, what do you think about it?

is it stable? do you advice change for that version?

[SpeedEuphoria]

F7a is stable but if you use DES it makes a noise as it is the only BIOS that I have tried so far that actually goes to the 1phase of power when using DES. Other than that the F7a is a good BIOS, I maxed it on my E8400 at 428x9 on stock Vcore.

Various optical BIOS improvements ...
New beta BIOS fixed some module if oc 2100MHz can't set memory
timing by manual, also this BIOS add QVL of Corsair 1866 3CH.

just flashed the new f4n for my ex58 ud5, and this is the first time i see a bsod that suddenly decided to surprise me out of the blue. was leaving the computer there and everything seems to be working fine. then after 30 min or so, with no activity on the computer, the BSOD just popped out suddenly. no problem with the F3 or any of the previous F4 beta bios. btw .. no overclocking at all was done, only set the xmp profile to the corsair standard. work flawlessly before, will give the new bios a few stress test and see if the BSOD will come back

BIOS EX58-UD5-F4n reported to be OK.
Hicookie (GIGABYTE’s in-house overclocking guru) tested and reach DDR3 2100

Sorry but F4n its NOT ok, same bios configuration as previous F4 and suddenly...puf....a BSOD out of the blue. Back to F4L.

Stasio:

I'm a noob and I'm about to begin my first ever OC. I just built my system, purchased the EP45 UD3P two weeks ago. I noticed on here that there are new bios for this board. Do I need to flash these with my brand new board? I must say that I'm VERY nervous about flashing my bios. I don't want to F-up my brand new setup. Please advise!

seasropp,
For start use factory BIOS.
