Yeah from gigabyte website, Ver 12.6.47.0 - 26/02/2013., Intel PROSet Ver; 18.3.72.0
I tried forcing 1.0gbps full duplex but once applied it acts like the port is empty until I put it back to auto(100mb).

Have you tried the latest driver? I've included it on the very 1st page of the forum tread, along with a few other updates.

For anyone who doesn't know where to find the latest links, their is a good section on the tweaktown forums >> Latest Overclocking Programs, System Info, Benchmarking, & Stability Tools

Will add a link to the original thread, as it includes sections for Gigabyte specific downloads.

Will revert it back.
 
Just curious, does the Gigabyte Z87X-OC bootup slowish?

I read because the way the board is configured for high BCLK clocking, it makes it boot up slower, compared to the UD3H, UD4H, UD5H etc?
 
Latest beta BIOS came out on the 18th of December.
