Hi,

Well make a comparison between the BIOS for both of the motherboards:

Here is the BIOS for your GA-P67A-UD5 (rev. 1.0).....if that is the right motherboard....here is the BIOS:

What is the F7 BIOS for?

Here is the BIOS for the GA-P67A-UD5-B3 (rev. 1.0) see link below:

hi teknology9
 i have f7 bios already loaded for my GA-P67A-UD5 (rev. 1.0) (date:2011/03/31)
 but when i try to update to GA-P67A-UD5-B3 (rev. 1.0) f7 bios (date:2011/10/12) both @bios and flash disk gives me errors: bios id mismatch and bios partnumber mismatch.
is there any way to solve this ?

Hi maverick72  ;)

I am sorry,

Your Bios mobo is only in this webLink :
GA-P67A-UD5 (rev. 1.0)
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3647#bios

If you tried other Bios version for other mobo, it is at your risk.

Sorry for precedent answer.

Gloup_Gloup.

Hi,

Well, I listed the BIOS information for both motherboards because they didn't seem to compare with each other regarding what the F7 BIOS was for....as you can see for yourself.

The F7 BIOS for the GA-P67A-UD5 (B3) states:   "0.Intel 22nm CPU support update"  

Here:  http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3762#bios


Whilst the other motherboard F7 BIOS,  GA-P67A-UD5 , states "0.Solve press reset button cause system abnormal"

Here:  http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3647#bios

Also, when it comes to updating the BIOS of a motherboard you should only do so if neccessary and if so use Qflash.......see the link below:

Hi maverick72,
Modified BIOS to flash from B2 to B3 is HERE.
It's "F3g1" BIOS for B3 version and you should flash with latest @BIOS (only first time).
Once you flash,reboot,enter BIOS again and using Q-Flash you can flash to latest F7 (or any) BIOS for B3.
More info you can found on XS forum,hwbot .

Are you have your HD in AHCI/RAID or IDE ?
I do this with IDE mode.
Please keep backup BIOS for P67.

OK,here is modded BIOS Z68X-UD5-B3 - F10a:

http://www.mediafire.com/?h2phefymnatu2m4

Before flashing,set in the BIOS "Optimized Defaults"and Disable "GSATA" and "eSATA" option.
Also Disable anything what you didn't use.
Before flashing in Windows,with latest @BIOS 2.12,
Untick "Load CMOS Default"!
(Tick Clear DMI data Pool if you want that CPU-Z show Z68X-UD5-B3)
After restart,BIOS will "hang" on BIOS Screen for about 2-3 min.

Modded BIOS to flash back to BIOS P67A-UD5-B3 - F7:

http://www.mediafire.com/?y9emd7rnj6fqwki

Please read before your flash to:
Refer to this page.
Refer to this page and after..

Done without problems,ahci mode works properly- no freeze /hang for 2-3 mins.after the bios update.
I have slight annoying problem for the p67 ud5 (B3) f6-f7 bios though:Sometimes after the restart or if I press reset button 3-4 times repeatedly I'm having"bios checksum error" and then backup bios starts to load.
