X58-UD3R Rev 1.0 flashing bios for 3TB Hard Drive

[Oenz]

I just bough a WD 3TB Green caviar for backup and it only show as 2.2TB with 800Go useless that I cant format

I know I need to update the Bios but I have the Rev1.0 from this motherboard and I want to know if this version

X58A-UD3R Rev. 2.0 Bios FH MOD Complete

can work well for my motherboard.

I tryed the F7L from Gigabyte website with the 3TB+ HDD support but it seems that bios doesnt work with the WD 3TB..

ps : My computer is fully OC at 4.0Ghz and a lot of thing in the bios (voltage change and more) and I dont want to flash this like 3-4 times to test if a version work or not

no,dont flash it!!!,it has to be the same matching revision

when you say f7l didnt work you mean it wouldnt flash? or it didnt see correct 3tb? you have to use @bios with the larger bios files,its just a one off flash then you can go back to using qflash

Win7 can see the 3TB in the hard driver manager but I can only format 2Tb on it... not the 3TB.

See this screenshot (sorry it is in french language, that's my main language in here)

your board is the x58-ud3r not the x58a-ud3r right?
