Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Is there a modified Bios for the GA-Z97N-Gaming 5 yet? I used the search function but could not find one. Could someone add an overview for all the Z97/H97 boards to the front page?

Thank you

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

If you have the time could you also mod the newest beta bios? Thanks

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

I Just wanted to say your custom mod of F10a for OC-Force is most stable bios I've ever had to date. I don't know if it's from mods or if gigabyte pulled head from ass on all the memory stability issues i've had with F5-F9 (with them I've NEVER been able to run my memory higher than 1600mhz no matter what I tried, in fact, I had to run memory at 1600mhz with terrible timing AND "system stability" setting just to stop crashing. Now I'm running 2133 XMP like i was meant to with F10a mod. One key diff I observe though is that the base frequency is now clocking in at 99.xx instead of 100mhz even. I actually tried to force 100 but it was no go no matter what. always does either 99 or 101, and at 101 it gets violently unstable but at 99 it's most stable it's ever been so maybe that's a good thing. F5-F9 were always dead even 100 but again the memory issues galore with both gskill and corsaire memory with every possible setting imaginable. I can live with my 4.3 overclock being a 4.26 now. Small sacrifice for stable memory :D

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

^Set frequency to Manual and always check value in BIOS.
For reading frequency in Windows use CPU-Z 1.64.0 (also GB SIV,AIDA64,HWiNFO is correct).

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

Well i guess OC87 Gigabyte boards are totally ditched lol
im guessing this is the latest and last bios we are going to be getting ? cant believe that they would leave it at that, not even a F8 final.

There are newer ones, linked just one page back in fact. They just aren't listed in original post. there is already a modified version of F9 for OC and F10a for OC force.

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

is 06C319 required for 4790k? I know the F10a mod for OC-Force had 06C317

[stasio]

Re: GIGABYTE Modified Bios

I don't thinks so......ASRock Z87M-OC Formula running 4790k with 06C317....BIOS from last year.
06C319 is mostly for new Pentium.

Thanks man :D i know the bios is modified to allow devils canyon sure hope the support works correctly and gives all oc options, 4790k here i come :)
you also dont happen to know what was added/changed between F8 and F9 currrent bios i am using is F7g modified.
hope these are better :D as F7g is giving me issues sometimes my graphics card will not operate correctly between reboots as the bandwidth gets saturated for some reason making the card operate at a slower speed like its stuck in PCi express 2.0 4x lol and rebooting sometimes most of the time fixes it.., also can this bios be flashed directly from the motherboard using Qflash.
