GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

[Lsdmeasap]

Thank you!

Uh... Sorry for the probably ignorant question but how do I update my bios with a .fcd file type?

Nevermind...

Again though, thank you!

You got it tight? File type name can be anything, you can even change it to anything you want, it's just a .bin file really and all BIOS tools will see it as such not matter what the file type name is

@Lsdmeasap @stasio When can we expect a final version for GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 1.0) or just an official beta to be posted on Gigabyte's site? Last official version is F8A beta released 2011/05/16 and latest unofficial version is F8B dated 2011/10/14. For rev. 2.0 they did release FH on 2012/01/06. Thanks

I'm not sure, and I doubt Stasio would know either. We could ask, but all they would say is "Do you need something fixed?"

My best guess is that they might make a final when the next round of BIOSes for that series get's a major update. Until then, nothing needs fixed as far as I know, so the latest beta BIOS would be best to use as it would have the latest fixes, enhancements, improvements, ect. They will only put out new beta or final when something else needs corrected, as of now latest beta is best and has no major issues being reported that I know of.

And for anyone else reading, look at this little gem I just found this morning in UD7 latest beta BIOS while testing something for someone!

I updated my Gigabyte ZX-UD5-B3 bios to F10 today and had no end of problems with blue screens after windows had been loaded for a couple of minutes. I reverted back to F10D and so far all seems fine.

Did you also update the backup BIOS? If not and you want to try it again be sure to do that, as well as the optimized default dance before you update the backup.

Here's how to update the backup if you are not sure
GIGABYTE Tech Daily: Video guide how to update your backup bios on GIGABYTE P67 boards

But of course, you can always stick with the older BIOS that's working fine for you, no reason to upgrade unless you have issues or want to try the new BIOSes.

What UD7 are you looking in? I have seen that setting also in X58A-UD5 and X58A-OC.

How can I see what are the versions of ROMs in my BIOS (GA-P55-UD3 - F10a)?
And can someone update all of them to the latest versions (Realtek LAN ROM 2.45, Intel® RAID ROM 11.5.0.1111, JMicron 1.07.28 and, if needed (I think latest AHCI already in my BIOS), Intel® AHCI ROM 1.20E)?
P.S. Sorry for my English if I made mistakes.
P.P.S. With AWARD BIOS Editor I found jmb10706.bin which means JMicron 1.07.06. Am I right? =)

Upd.: OK, I'm used cbrom198 for extract pci's and find versions. And I update it. =)

X58A-UD7 Rev. 1.0

I assume those settings help with enabling both RAID ROM's, or when using other RAID add-in cards. Not sure which setting you'd want to use, but that would be one of the first things I'd play with if I ran into RAID issues, too bad they hide this by default! It seems silly to take the time to add it in there, and then hide it?
