The F10 bios sounds very promising so I might be tempted in a couple of days time to give it a go. Currently using F7.
Any bios is fine if you don't overclock. The only reason for you to update is if a newer bios has some features you want.Originally posted by: xboxist
Question:
I'm running revision F4 with this board, and it's been flawless thus far. If run everything at stock speeds and could care less about OC'ing, would you even bother with a new BIOS revision if you were me?

Hmmm, which controller gives best performance anyway?

Eh, F10 was going great for me until this morning. I encountered the black screen of nothingness upon cold boot. I had to powercycle after the black screen and then speeds reset to stock settings. I then updated to my proven stable oc settings and booted back up. Yesterday I had shut my pc down several times trying to make it cold boot but I guess I didn't leave it powered off long enough. Odd thing is, this only happens when I overclock to over 700mhz ram. 699mhz doesn't give me the cold boot issue. I have Corsair Dominators :|
This damn motherboard is fine, until you turn it off for long periods of time. I'm seriously thinking about RMAing at this point.

700 mhz? Is that 1400 MHz after double rate?

How can you possibly be having problems with 350 MHz memory?

Question about RAID:
I just got a second HD for my computer (identical to first WDC 250 SATA II). I would like to setup RAID 0 for performance. But I have a very well setup windows installation that I do not want to destroy. Is it possible to enable RAID and still not lose the data on my current HD and keep windows working? Doesn't sound very feasible for me... but just in case...
Thanks all

Anybody notice that the F10 BIOS is no longer on the GigaByte site? Hereis the page that I've always used. I've got the 965P-DS3 rev 1 board. After some positive comments, I was going to download F10 and give it a try.
F10 is hit or miss for me. Last night I went to 8X400 which is always very easy and I played COD2 for a while with no problems at almost stock settings for ram (+0.3) and CPU (1.4V). I took it up to 405 and the thing went into an endless reboot cycle! This is ridiculous since I've been getting 8X420 in the past. Also, I hit the same 700Mhz wall that someone else did... I was at 9X350 very stable but 9X355 also went into an endless reboot cycle. I think F10 is better in some respects, but very quirky for different setups.Originally posted by: Daver69
Got the F10 Bios Installed after trying F9 and having loads of problems.
Loads of problems with the F10 also, having to use really loose timing's on my Geil D9 based Dram. like 5-8-8-20 shockinlg loose. Dont know really why there should be a problem here, I worked for Micron for 2 years in the test engineering department and all the module which were stress tested in the quality department were tested mainly on Gigabyte, Asus and MSI motheboards with all modules running through all the boards and all the different chipsets.
