 No, if it works there...leave it....IDE is correct also , there no gains I know about with ACHI for Optical drives. this should free up some resources on the Intel controller helping performance some what!

No certainly do not move it back to the Intel ports. It will perform fine on the Marvell port.

yea, by the way the FG1 bios from the gigabyte site have problem, when you try install it with qflash it says incorrect  size..
the FF and others working normal ..

[Aussie Allan]

  Are you targeting/highlighting just the BIOS file to use....some just choose multiple files out of the unpacked content.....this will produce a "FAIL"

Hi Allan, so when i will excract a bios on my desktop which file i must copy on the usb flash?

[Aussie Allan]

 Just the one that states "X58AUD3R.FG1"  this is assuming you have the version 2 board, always make sure you download the exact model and version

[Dark Mantis]

[manowargr]

Dark Mantis, check that if working http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3449#bios
or someone im sure they know they dont working.. it still says file size incorect .

[Dark Mantis]

Hi

The file looks correct to me but obviously I can't run it. Have you tried updating as specified using @BIOS or FLASHSPI.exe ?

[manowargr]

i know how to flash bios, the file is corrupt i dont know why they did that.
Anyway Lsdmeasap gave me the latest bios for my motherboard FH1 bios..
