you need to look for spd system memory multiplier and set to 2133mhz then look for expert timings and set channel a and b timings to 9-11-11-21-1t and dram voltage to 1.55v

copy these settings(just the memory related ones)

I seem to be having problems with the usb3 ports on my
UP4 TH, drives will dissapear randomly I assume this is a
driver issue? I installed the latest drivers from the gigabyte
website should I be using other drivers instead?.

wazza300 · 3 Feb 2013 at 23:23

try the ones in here (scroll down) don't use the turbo part of the usb3 though

Many thanks for that!, when you say turbo mode are you referring to a bios setting?

wazza300 · 4 Feb 2013 at 10:36

something about usb3 turbo I think,idk as I don't use usb3 but read that it helps if you disable it,it might have been for z68 I forget now

Z77 UP7 - does my ram do it justice?

I have this board which is waiting to be booted up in my newly maintained rig.
My CPU is i7-2700k, i know that will be ok but what i want to ask is wether or not my Ram is ok or not.
I have 8Gb 2x4GB of Kingston Genesis Hyperx 1600mhz, grey.

Thanks

So I tried installing the Intel usb3 drivers on this page but I got a message that the
Install failed, also there are no 'via' usb3 drivers on that page which seems to be
The other usb3 chip on the up4 TH.

I just bought a Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH. Sweet looking motherboard. Hope it's better the asus mobo I returned.

I might need you soon wazza. You seem to be the man with all the info on these Motherboards

Well at least in bios.....I'm so used to Asus..

This will be my first Gigabyte board so be gentle

wazza300 · 4 Feb 2013 at 20:16

I would flash to the latest beta BIOS,I'm using one myself,I'm at 4.6ghz on the up4

RetrogamerX · 4 Feb 2013 at 20:25

I never flashed with this board before. It was easy with asus. I just used there program looked for file and it flashed. how do I do it with gigabyte?

I haven't read up on it much yet.

wazza300 · 4 Feb 2013 at 20:32

Is it ezflash on asus? Same as that but its called qflash,just put the BIOS .bin file onto a Usb stick,press f8 in the bios and flash

RetrogamerX · 4 Feb 2013 at 20:40

oh...ok that's easy enough. Thanks mate

Is the beta bios ok? No issues with the beta?

wazza300 · 4 Feb 2013 at 20:46

No,should be fine

You can flash to the latest final if you want,its just beta's tend to have the latest fixes,I've always used them since x58

I don't seem to be able to "safely remove" any usb hard drives
or usb sticks from my z77 up4 TH system?. I am using all the drivers
recommended on the gigabyte website apart from a newer intel usb3
driver (the recomended one is cac).
I am running win7 64bit pro and have checked to see what services
are running in the background on system startup and have disabled
no essential ones but the problem still occurs. Does anyone have any
thoughts? is it a driver issue or a windows setting or something else??

the driver versions are here: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4280#dl
