Hi, first post!

I'm intrigued by the beta BIOISs for Gigabyte's GA-X79-UD7. I'd like to try the F9a version () hurry dual BIOS!) , but I have some questions and I did not find a BIOS FAQ.

 

1) Where do these BIOISs come from? Friends within Gigabyte?

2) How can we find out what the version is supposed to accomplish, are there change-logs anywhere?

3) Where/how can I provide feedback on a BIOS, and where can I see whats happening to other "testers"? Is this thread the best place?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

1) BIOS came from Gigabyte R&D Taiwan.

2) No changelog atm.

(F9A probably like F8 with some compatibility enhancements or updated microcode.)

3) Please read this thread (as I posting there many years):

Thanks.

Some of beta BIOSes are still undergoing compatibility testing. GIGABYTE is sharing these BIOSes for testing purposes only and are not meant for general release. If you are not familiar with beta BIOS testing, then please only flash the recommended release BIOSes that are posted on the GIGABYTE website, as only release BIOSes have passed compatibility testing.

if i had hypers i would test for you, i only have hynix i think and tons of crap PSC lol. I actually sold my nice Gskill 2200mhz cas 7, but i thinkt hat was nice PSC right?

in general you need to pump massive volts (1.85+) to get hypers running at decent speeds aka 2133 and beyond... it's a PSC/Hynix platform

 

must say that the 4 2GB 1866 c7 hyper modules I have here do 2133 7-8-7-21-80-1T @ 1.75V on Rampage IV Extreme (ok, other board, dut still hypers on x79)

With the 3960X ES chip I had, using Elpida BBSE and Hypers I needed around 0.15V more to achieve same freq/timings compared to s1155. From what I observe on forums, in most cases the situation is slimiar, however, I've seen some examples (by OPB and Hazzan) when MHz/volt scaling with Elpida was similar to one of 1155.

With PSC and Hynix, there are no such issues.

 

sin0822 - yup, 2200C7s are "good" (old) PSC, you shouldn't have sold them if you needed s2011 benching mems

well i only had one kit so for LGA2011 wasn't so good. But with Z77 and Ivy oh man I now wish i had kept them knowing what i know now haha. i have new mems coming soon, so I hope they are decent. Thanks for the clarification tho :) I didn't want to rip off the heatspreader

Asrock X79 Extreme9 unable to do 4 sticks on 2133 & 2400MHz G.skill ram 2T or 1T.

 

ASRock tell me the Extreme9 is only rated to 2400 in dual channel. I got 2133 to work in quad with a set of GSkills.

Just as I finish writing about the board on the 30 BIOS. Lovely.
