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

The UP5 is now fitted and working. Couple of questions.

What's the deal with having to press space while booting? If I don't it takes forever.

I've not seen this, mine has just booted (once the correct boot order is set in the BIOS)

Also I don't get any info in the boot loader just the BIOS logo?

Same as me, a quick glimpse of the Ultra durable logo and then its straight to the windows splash screen.


I don't know if you have updated the BIOS, but they have change the logo screen to a more classy picture in the last two beta BIOS I used.

Hm, mine is taking quite a long time over the logo'd screen... Feels longer than a normal POST... Any ideas?

Ummm, if you have any other USB devices connected apart from the usual keyboard/mouse then try removing them.

In the BIOS is it set to look straight at you boot drive first?

And of course you can try a newer BIOS if yours is older.

That is strange as I remember my first initial impressions of the board was that it did boot quickly indeed.


Out of interest (actually because I have seen something odd with a different copy of windows I acquired and used on the same board)

Can you paste up a screen of all the boot devices listed in the BIOS?

 

[stulid]

hey mate that program did you need to pay for it got the same i think it says trial version

The Trial version does not have this feature.

 

[stulid]

Sorry for the delay mate.

Ah, sorry, can you show whats in the actual device selection (BBS boot priorities) found in the BIOS features section.

Is there something named "UEFI ****"?

 

[stulid]

Ive lot my over clocking head. lol

I have set it as i have in the past, multi 45, but windows if only showing a max of 37.

Did you just set the multi to 45X and left the Turboboost alone?

 

[stulid]

Send the card here and I'll tell you if its fubar or not.

Anyone using F12g BetaBIOS on the UP5 TH, can I just say its awful and the newer F13a is vastly better, less flaky and more stable.

 

[stulid]

any of you folks losing bios settings? as in everythin reverts to reading auto yet it still remembers the overclock you had?

been testing up4 th with a few latest beta's,now testing latest final to see if its a beta bios bug

that's after powering off pc for a day or two at a time

Not quite the same, but on my UP5 with the F12g BIOS I would set up a 4.6Ghz overclock in the BIOS just like I have done numerous times before and yet CPU-Z/CPUID all said I was still at the previous 4.5Ghz (no matter how many installs of these sort of programs I tried).

Put F13a onto it and all was good again, hence my comment above to avoid the F12g rubbish.

Hi there, having trouble oc'ing my samsung green past 2200Mhz. Can do 2200mhz with 10-10-10-30 timings and 1.6v, but won't do tighter timings than that. Also failed 2400mhz with 11-11-11-30 at 1.65v. However, am still on F9 bios - would that likely make any difference? Any thoughts otherwise on oc'ing this memory? Thanks!

You can try a newer BetaBIOS sure, but considering you have RAM rated at 1600Mhz running at 2200, you've done well I reckon.

You may find some working settings in here for higher.

Help!! My bios seems to have stopped doing anything...

I flashed to the F11a bios. Spent the last couple of days messing with RAM settings, which worked fine (now have them at 2133, 9-10-10-26 T1). Then I tried overclocking the CPU (43 ratio, 100 BCLK, plus a couple of voltage tweaks): the bios seemed to accept these, restarted fine, booted to windows fine, but the CPUZ still showed the multiplier at 38. Restarted and went back in the BIOS, which shows the CPU running at 38 multi, but the settings are where I left them (ie 43 multi, etc). Changing these seems to have no effect. I also reset the BIOS and booted up with the defaults, and then changed the settings again, and still get the same result: settings are as I enter them, but they have no effect on what the CPU is actually doing. The bizarre thing is that meanwhile the RAM is always running at the custom settings above, even though the BIOS settings have reverted to auto.

Anyone know what's going on? Completely puzzled!

This is a UP4 board yeah?

Try a previous BIOS such as F10/F10b
