Gigabyte MB Bios Change log

[casual_eze]

This has been bugging me for a while now but does anyone know why a huge MB manufacturer like gigabyte don't publish change logs for their MB BIOS?

I have a Z87-UD4H and am on F5. The latest is F8 but i want to know what has changed and been fixed before updating. It like Russian roulette!

To be fair, I haven't checked if other manufacturers provide a change log on theirs but for such high end products, i would expect all manufacturers to do this. I mean even lenovo provide change logs for things like touch pad driver updates!

Try reading the beta BIOS updates, very slightly more in-depth.

LOL! thats exactly why i posted the question. Have you looked at that forum recently? Its up to 895 pages so far and i really dont have time to sift through each page to find changes to my particular MB.

I guess im just having a little moan as i dont think the change log exists anywhere. Shame really.

Does anyone know if Asus provide better information with their MBs?

They only give basic info at times,they usually contain latest fixes to known issues,you can flash back n forth to any bios version anyway so its a case of trying it and seeing if it fixes the problem you have

Asus release BIOS's but not so regular,and I don't think they release beta's

MSI seem to have the best notes, especially if you can your hands on the FAE release notes.

Can't supply much info I'm afraid.
I had big problems with the F5 bios my UD4H came with. Flashed to F8c beta bios, and that was worse. Couldn't OC with either of them!
F7 is the one to go for. F8 final has recently come out, not tested that one yet though.
Solid as a rock at 4.5GHz using F7, so see no point changing at the mo.
