Which System Information?
Use CPU-Z, ET6 ,TouchBIOS or similar software.
For whatever reason it would not update to F7 using @BIOS thru server even after showing it successfully updated. I downloaded the file on my HDD and extracted it then ran the the BIOS update using the @BIOS utility and it updated without issue. All is good and Windows System is showing the correct BIOS info. Thanks.

Can someone tell me if GA-X58A-UD3R (2.0) - FH5 has VT-D enabled, also is any of the roms been updated? Plus i would like someone who is using FH3 or higher to try there sub woofer in 5.1 config uration and tell me if they have sound through it, plus in playback devices/enhancements, is there any bass management options when you dont select front full range speakers?, and does it work?, please someone do these tests for me, im tryin to get my pc up to date as much as poss, im plaaning on keeping this for another year so i can save for the new chipset and lga2011 cpu or maybe even better by the time ive saved.I ask these questions because i updated toFH3 before but had to revert back because i couldnt get any sound through my sub woofer.
Ok, ive updated using FH5 for GA-X58A-UD3R rev2, this bios completley disables all realtek and even windows sound enhancements and effects, just like FH3, all you can use is the new dolby theatre, you can only use 5.1 with 5.1 encoded music or videos, before this you could use 5.1 on any encoding because it upmixed everything to 5.1,not anymore, 2 channel encodings will only upmix to 5.0 so you loose your subwoofer, frankly its a load b-----ks, so, ive kept the updated bios and uninstalled and deleted all realtek and the new dolby content and installed windows generic hd audio driver, now i have my 5.1 upmix by using the enhancements, so basicly you could say its a win loose situation, i have a little high pitch sound now and then,not very loud, when im using 5.1 setup, no noises in 2channel setup, i can live with this, i was hoping for updated roms, but at least when they do get around to updating the roms i know that i can update and still use windows generic to keep my subwoofer.

Has any one tested GA-X58A-UD3R rev.2.0 - Fh5 JZ [2], like to know before updating, im using FH5 JZ 1st bios i think(it says JZ at end), that works fine,but when it comes to updated roms some pcs can go **** up,so, has anyone tested this one? id love to have the new roms because as it stands now ahci seems to be slower than ide which is nuts, maybe this could solve that, please let us know, this is the only pc i have so i have nothing to fall back on, unless anyone knows how i could trigger the recover process if it does go **** up because i use @bios to flash(i know its dodgy but i have dual bios)
Could someone also tell me if G1 SNIPER as newer roms as im thinking of buying the board because of UD3R's horrible raid problems and the noise that it creates through the speakers, G1 SNIPER shouldnt have any noise, so instead of paying for the killer nic and creative sound card wich would set me back quite a bit anyway i might aswell get the SNIPER motherboard, that should last me at least another year or 2 performance wise. I was gonna get lga2011 but thought i dont really overclock and the i7 950 is pretty good,so if i get low latency ram with the sniper and i7 950 should keep me going for a while right?
F4d is by far your best bios for this board to date, its so far allowed me to push my i7 920 from 4.3ghz to 4.35ghz, still currently testing for stability but will keep you posted, i'm hoping to get my cpu up to 4.41ghz stable, which is the highest this cpu has ever given me with HT enabled.
Just one thing I did notice, at the POST screen it says D1 not F4d ?
