GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

[Lsdmeasap]

Well without your specs we can only guess as to what board you are using??

But I do think I have seen noted that there is some issues with D0 CPU's and the new BIOS's that just came out. They are working to correct this I believe so just go back to the older BIOS until you see a new beta again. Should not take long at all

Excuse me, i have ex58-extreme board, and now i turn back to f8x, but whit this bios there is an incorrect use of ram and/or uncore on hight bclk

[Lsdmeasap]

Ahh, see that helps.

You are using F8x correct? That is a modified BIOS to allow Higher PCIE Freq, do you have the PCIE freq set higher than 100? If so all you need to do is flash back to F8x and then set the PCIE Freq to 100, then you can safely flash to the latest BIOS.

That is of curse if the D0 issue does not apply to you, which it may as I am not sure what the issue is exactly, I just know I seen reports of D0 issues across the X58 series of new BIOS's posted

Incorrect use of ram and or uncore? What do you mean?

Hi Lsdmeasap. I have installed the des software and all the little gold things for phases are moving, and like Everest the power for cpu is shown incorrect, The system is still stable, Do you think it is just reporting incorrectly, and as the system is stable is it ok to run untill the next bios update, the 1.20e ahci is so much better. Thanks.

You would need the DES Software installed, it will show you how many phases are active at any given time

How the new F9b working with you? is it better than F9a?

[Lsdmeasap]

Yes, it will be fine and I am sure that it wont be long before the update is posted.

What does it look like in everest? And do you have C1E and EIST Disabled? Well, did you before I mean as they have to be enabled I believe to use DES

@aquax

Not sure, I have only used F9b for a day or so. I used F9a for a long time so I really cannot compare them yet.

There is new options for memory in F9b Channel Interleave and Rank interleave.

Also added is Enhanced Memory compatibility for sure, as I had some issues with a kit I was sent for review until F9b, you can read about that hear if you like.

When i come up 3,4ghz 200x17 qpi is instable, too much or less
now i can't stay over 3,4 ghz whit my new OCZ platinum...
one month ago, whit Corsair Dominator I have not had any problem

I completely quote and add:
-And for not Elpida chip(ES my OCZ Platinum)...please, the QPI bug!!!
whit F8b I can not climb over 3.4 200x17, and if i set qpi and ioh on auto...this is my situation on 3,8ghx 200x18:



Please release new bios!

my old post explain my problem, is not only con f8x, ALL bios whit my new ocz platinum give me problem on hightest uncore ad qpi frequency
the new bios is unusable and take my sistem in loop

Thanks Lsdmeasap, I hope the official F9 comes soon, I'm still on F8, I don't like to use beta bios :D

Btw, where I can find this Mushkin in coffee background ^_^

This is the readout for everest, note the high cpu watts and amps when using f8c for the ud5. Thanks

What is the bug exactly, I mean I am not sure what you are saying? Looks like you may need to add more QPI Voltage is all if you have issues, some ram IC"s just need more than others depending on CPU as well.

Some ram XMP profiles even come 1.6-1.7 QPI/Vtt so if you are saying 1.43V needed is a bug, it is not.

You did not answer me about F8x, do you have the PCIE Freq set above 100? If you do than that is why you have a loop when trying a new BIOS. The new BIOS is not made like F8x and cannot be set above 100 PCIE Freq. If you did have PCIE set above 100 with F8x, just flash back to that and lower your PCIE to 100 and then you may be able to use the new BIOS.

But like I said, there is a D0 Bug, so that could also be why you are having a loop. You may have to wait a few days for them to get the new ones posted that fix the D0 bug.
