[pyronical]

From Gigabyte HQ:
About the issue you mentioned, we will update the new UEFI BIOS at the end of the June or beginning of July.

Lies :(

Any news about the final version of F11 BIOS for X79-UD7? All other X79 mobos have new bios except the one that in theory could be the most powerfull.

New BIOS:

GA-Z68XP-UD4 - U1g
GA-Z68XP-UD3 - U1g
GA-Z68XP-UD3-issd - U1a
GA-Z68XP-D3 - U1a
GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 - U1c
GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 - U1b
GA-Z68A-D3-B3 - U1a

- 10-15.July 12
(When updating from legacy to UEFI, use only the utility attached to your BIOS file)

I can't seem to get it(GA-Z68XP-UD3-issd) to update to UEFI. I tried the USB route through Q-flash but no go.I know I'm likely doing something wrong. I don't know If having RST (raid 0) enabled is affecting the detectiion of the USB as a first boot drive. I'm running Win 7 64

Yeah you completely missed Stasio's instructions on how to update to a UEFI bios. You have to use the included bios flash utility and flash from DOS.

from where this info?

I hope they fix it soon.... it is taking too long already....

Hopefully they are also working on improving support of 4 sticks of Samsung 30mn DDR3L RAM for GA-Z77X-UD3H as well.

It seems affected by the same issue as EvgeniX described. Boot failures at 2133Mhz, even with timings loosened to the extreme. Tested on two different 3570K CPUs (one Malay & one Costa Rica) and two different GA-Z77X-UD3H motherboards (manufactured around 1 month apart from each other), and both behaved identically. Somewhere around 1960Mhz was the highest I've been able to get stable under stress testing, and with around 2060Mhz the highest successful (unstable) boot.

Until this hopefully get fixed, I've backed off to 1866Mhz 8-9-9-24-1T.
