thanks, nah it isn't that bad. it is just hard for me to go through and figure out what really is a problem and what is just user error, because I am finding more than half the time it is user error.

Currently the biggest issues are:
CPU PLL OV always being on, which is an issue for Sandy bridge users. (I am told this should be fixed very soon, maybe in a beta BIOS next week or so) .
BIOS F8 and F9C not being very good
Some specific hardware incompatibilities with a Focusrite Saffire pro 14(i remembered you Yor) and I think a legacy XF-I audio card.
Some USB hub surge notifications, which is just a software glitch.


compared to a short while ago, a lot of the older problems have been fixed. The only recent BSODs I hear of now are from the hardware incompatibilities like Yors, where if he puts in the 1394a card it causes huge spikes in DPC which causes things to crash, i know first hand if I have high DPC latency while i play BFBC2 my system will crash too. Infact I figured out easytune6 was causing high DPC latency spikes because of my BFBC2 crashing back a while ago.

I have come to the conclusion that BIOS F7 or F8D are the best two BIOSes for the UD5H ATM.

Wow thanks Sin...but I actually ended buying another audio interface, this time a USB 2.0 based one...I'm tired of firewire. It was never an awesome technology...faster than USB 2.0, but more problematic, compatibility issues are very common. Honestly, I didn't want to get rid of my Gigabyte board, they've always been awesome to me. Hopefully the remaining bugs can be fixed because the UD5H is an excellent board, really.

.

So you think Sin / Yor that the board may have an issue with my old 2007/2008 X-fi.

It certainly could be why i am having the looping sound hardlock.

I will try the onboard x-fi if it happens again and report back.

@Sin, Thanks for the reply. Alright I'll take your word for it, but they also provide 60A to the cpu socket, is it also the same with the UD5H's?

you guys are welcome. hey if you can give me the exact model number of the card perhaps GB has it and can try it. i know one issue with Yor's audio device is that they didn't have one lol.
BTW Krysaenaar try this: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/DPC-Latency-Checker.shtml

May I add my own issue with this board? smile.gif
For the past month I've been exchanging mails with GGTS because of the following:

The GA-Z77X-UD5H doesn't detect my two LSI Megaraid controllers. I have a LSI Megaraid 8204elp (PCI-E x4) and a LSI Megaraid 9260-8i (PCI-E x8) that are not detected by BIOS POST.
I tried all the beta BIOS there is and still are not detected the way they should.

The weird thing is they are only detected when I remove my PCI-E Graphic card. If I remove the PEG card and use the integrated graphic the cards are detected.
My older LSI 8204elp is only detected on first x16 PCI-E slot.
The newer LSI 9260-8i is detected on both the first and second PCI-E slots.

BUT WITHOUT PEG ?!?

The Gigabyte support are trying to help but in the last reply they said they tested with two Adaptec raid controllers... this may be the case they don't have LSI cards to test with...

Any thoughts?
