990FXA - UD3 Rev 4

[Ferather]

Heres my FX8350 with F2:



With F3 I can only reach about 220 FSB before a fail to boot.
No issues with prime for 24 hours with F2 and 240 FSB.

Sorry for late update. We tested the issue with latest BIOS version F4a. Before put system in sleep mode, the CPU temperature is around 30°C and CPU fan speed is around 2200rpm.
After resume from sleep mode, the CPU temperature is around 33°C and CPU fan speed is around 2200rpm, too. The system works properly without the CPU fan stop spinning issue.

I've received the F4a bios as well - wasn't able to try it until today as I had been travelling. So far it does seem to resolve the cpu fan issues after waking.

I still see no updated BIOS on the download page and am still having the CPU fan issue. Can we please get an update on this?

Yes, it's strange they have not published the new bios. They know the serious problems caused by the bios F3
You try to write for service of gigabyte
If they do not send you, look me in private and I send you.

I have posted to their support and will await their answer, thank you.

[BradenFontaine]

They replied to my ticket with a new bios version and it is working!

F4a BradenFontaine?

[JAGGED]

I dont get why it takes so long to release the bios, would it be possible for it to be uploaded.

[Banderi]

Running into this problem too, it's killing my system. Does anybody know when the new BIOS will be available? Or would someone be able to upload the beta?

Nice, I meant to try that one in case I didn't receive answer from the board or users. Thanks!

The issue is with the F3 release bios, the F2 edition does not have this fault.
I know because I recently updated to F3 to find my CPU @ 77c after sleep.

Gone back to F2, also since I can reach 240 FSB on my FX8350 and I cannot with F3.

Also gigabyte be prepared to replace some CPU's, Almost tempted to ask myself.

When will corrected bios be released?  It appears the issue was confirmed over a year ago.

Thanks,
Mark
