Default Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

Forgive my ignorance.
On page one of this thread a BIOS version F10b is listed as the latest for my EP45-UD3P mobo. The latest version showing on the GB website is F9. Where is the version F10b coming from?

Default Incorrect (low) CPU temp reportede with F8e (ex-58-ud5)

Hi, I've just switched to the F8e bios -- fantastic to have resume from S3 sleep working as well as the automatic CPU fan speed -- so thanks!

Two bugs, one I haven't found a work around for.

First, after resume the memory timings are set to 4 - 8 - 7 - 20 instead of (the correct) 7 - 8 - 7 - 20. By getting rid of all "auto" settings in the BIOS this no longer causes the syustem to be unstable after S3, although the CAS latency is still *reported* incorrectly as 4.

The second bug is that the CPU temp is reported as ridiculously low (right now it's reported as 17, when in fact it's 23 ambient). This means that the CPU fan is spinning way too slow (300rpm). Is there a work around or do I need to wait until the next beta?

Also, can anyone say when the expect the official F8 bios to be released? I've build this machine for a friend and I'd like to hand it over on the next official release if this isn't going to much longer in the works.

Thanks again for all your excellent work here!

Cheers

Simon

Default Re: Gigabyte Latest BIOS

For ex58-ud4p bios f9b I found that when coming out of s3 sleep no matter what software being used the temps for the motherboard, outer cpu and northbridge cannot be detected until a reboot is done. If these are not working there might not be any heat warning or automatic shutdown due to overheat of the system if the sensors are not working properly after s3 sleep. Haven't tried f9c but this wasn't on the change log I saw so it might need to be addressed.

the pci-e limitation isn't a bios one, it requires a board hardware modification
