***Official Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH, Z77X-UP5 TH and Z77X-UP7 discussion thread***

Any ideas regarding the case fans & the BIOS query guys? Anyway, despite this little niggly things my rig so far is running great. I've also got a Fractal Design R3 case on the way which I'm looking forward to run it all with :)

Are both fans three pin then?

If you swap the two over so that they are each others fan header etc do they then swap over so that the front is silent and the rear is now full speed?

Yes both fans are, I've just swapped them round so that the front case fan is running off number 1 & vica versa and as soon as I rebooted the machine it lowered the fan speed straight away.

I've just done a bit of searching on here and a couple of other people have reported that apparently case fans that are 3 pin & connected to 4 pin headers are only adjustable if connected to the SYS_FAN1 header on Gigabyte boards, which is voltage adjustable apparently. If they are connected to the other system fan headers then they are not adjustable (unless the case fans are 4 pin of course) which is a bit of annoyance as all the system fans headers on the board are 4 pin.

I've had an idea that purchasing a 3 pin to 3 pin x2 adapter could do the trick, as I could plug the adapter straight into SYS_FAN1 and run both case fans off it. Would this work?

Thanks - Liam

ahh ok,the fan splitter cable should work off the sys1 header though

The new case I've got on the way which is a Fractal Design R3 comes with a fan controller apparently, which is very handy - I just hope that it has at least 2 fan headers otherwise I will have to purchase the 3 pin to 3 pin x2 adapter.

So in the BIOS you have selected "voltage" control for the fans?

It looks like the case fans are not voltage controlled going by what the manual says, the options available in the BIOS are Normal (automatically adjusted according to the system's temp), Silent (makes the rear fan on mine run at 300rpm, instead of the standard 1100rpm), Manual (Slope PWM adjustable, however I've already tried this and is doesn't work) or Disabled.

Guys, I'll ask in here as I'm sure I'll get a response and saves a new thread being started, I have gigabyte z77x d3h, the blck keeps changing and I want to see it locked to 100mhz, what do I have to adjust/setting?

I'm pretty sure the bios are very much similar.
 
Yeah it's uninstalled now and doing it all from bios, it would always set it to 103 or something daft llike that. Loaded optimised bios and will set it to 100 and go from there. Cheers wazza.

Have you got a newish BIOS on it? if you go through some of the early pages of the UD5H thread then you will see similar symptoms.

The other trick I believe was to type 101 as the Bclk.
 
Mine won't even boot properly if I set it to 100 BCLK I have to set mine to AUTO or to 100.27 ish. Mine is usually booting at 100.03 and higher.
 
I have just built my system with a UP5 and when I boot up I get a code of D4 on the little on board code display, however if I go into BIOS do nothing and just save and exit it goes back to A0 until the next time I down power re-power.

Does anyone have any clue as to why this could be? I have flashed the BIOS to F11 which is the latest one on the website.
 
Anyone help with my D4 debug code? Just seems odd that if I boot via bios with no changes then it sits at A0 but if not I get the D4. The thing is if the led display wasn't there then I guess I would never know as everything seems fine?
