**Official Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Discussion Thread**

I can't think of anything on the motherboard which would cause that sort of noise.

Maybe remove the PSU from the case then wire it back in to see if that isolates the noise?
 
[Thanks for the reply.

I just took both sides of the case off and when the noise started pinpointed that was indeed the fans on my quad radiator in the bottom compartment of the TJ07.

I confirmed this by removing the 3-pin fan header whilst the noise was happening and it immediately stopped.

Seem to have fixed it by moving the 3 pin fan head from 'SYS_FAN2' to 'CPU_FAN'. Noise has now gone.

For how long? Only time will tell!

Cheers again

This old chestnut still going !!! :(

Pain in the **** board period, I have a new 240gb ssd, new windows 7 install and still fails with writing to my 16bg usb key and still fails at cold start up, sometimes takes 3-4 boots to work. :rolleyes:

Something is seriously wrong with this board and its usb ports !!! :mad:

It dont say usb over volt anymore Pheww!!! :rolleyes:
 
Using SSD to accelerate dual boot windows 7, 8 system

GA-Z77X-UD5H

If I install the Intel ISRT drivers for both platforms, is it possible to accelerate both OSs on the same hard drive or does that way lead to a great wailing and gnashing of teeth? Anyone tried it?
 
My guess is that if it does work each o/s is just going to scrub the SSD each time on boot and then start caching it's own files. Which'll mean your SSD is getting loads of wear'n'tear with all the writes and you'll see no real benefit on boot up but still will on the second use of stuff in that session.

I'd look at splitting the SSD into two partitions and see if it will let you specify a partition when setting up the cache rather than a drive.

But at the end of it all what ever does get cached to the SSD is purely that, a cache. So I can't see that any testing you do will damage the main drive. At worst it'll just be a format of the cache SSD and try something else.

Can't you reinstall both os's to the SSD (seperate partitions) then there will be no need for a cache drive?

My win 7 boots like lightning with a crucial m4
 
I've got this board and a crucial m4 SSd , how fast should it be booting? Someone told me it should be 20 seconds, mine takes 30-45, wondering if I've not set something up ( settings ) right

Have you got any other drives attached? tried my m4 on its own, takes 20-30 secs. if i have my 3 other sata drives attached, takes over a minute, why it adds time i dont know
 
Guys,
This is a question to the people who are using Windows 8, are you installing the chipset & ME drivers for this board or just using the Windows 8 pre-installed ones?
 
Had terrible freezing issues with this board, both in windows and even in POST and BIOS, and wait for it, even BIOS update \:

Not blue screen, or black, just a complete freeze. I have performed the following:

Reset CMOS
Changed to backup BIOS.
Updated BIOS to F14
Changed BCLK to 101.00Mhz
Re-installed windows 8
Reverted to a clean install of Win7
Removed/Reset graphics card
Removed/Reset + Memtest both 2 X 4GB Corsair Memory sticks
Ran SSDLife FREE - Said my OS Drive was at 100% health (not sure if this program is accurate or not)

ONE of these stablized my problem, i now 100% boot through to windows and can operate on my system, but every now and again i still get the occasional freeze, NO idea why.

Have you tried one of the beta BIOSes?
 
@JaseUK

I havent, purely because on the betaBIOS page it states that its purely experimental and still in the testing stages. I was worried to use it JUST incase it fatally borked my pc.

Are they actually any higher risk than normal releases?
 
Seem to be having a problem with my Virtu Logix :mad:

Anyone else experiencing problems with a GTX680 and some weird vsync stuttering? Some games work flawlessly others dont..

UPDATE: going to attempt installing the latest BETA bios to see if that makes any difference
 
'Name', I had exactly the same problem you did. I was using F14, and updated to the newest beta F15 maybe?. Solved the problem for me

I just wish Gigabyte please sort it out with USB 3.0 problem issues and Vertex 4 256GB SSD bottleneck sometimes rebooting pc get write speed of 512MB/s and next time turn on PC get write speed of 410MB/s really fed up.

Why are you benching your SSD every time you turn it on? Are you looking to destroy all of your kit for the sake of it? A few times here and there to test your PC is not a bad thing but you have to remmeber its NAND, this stuff has X amounts of write cycles and putting them through a high level test can stress the cells quite drastically. Its not the wisest thing to do unless you like making RMAs :p

I only do it once a month to make sure my SSD is up to performance. But 520/410 MB/s doesn't bother me now as long I am happy with 256GB storage and faster boot up!
