Hi marty16, 

Happy new year,

Thank you for telling us that things are getting better now.

Well it certainly seems like it was a BIOS issue and the new F7 update has remedied it for good. Always great when a solid fix works for everybody.

Not to mention the service Gigabyte have provided their customers who have purchased  one of the X79 motherboards.

Guys,

I thought this issue was resolved with F7 but something is still awry. I recently upgraded my internet package to 50Mbps. I had been at 15Mbps. I kept hitting a wall of 25Mbps with the new package. I tried everything from new CAT6 cabling to removing my router. Same result. Then I tested with my secondary machine. 50Mbps!

I remembered this issue from the early bios revisions and even tried flashing back to f7 from f9. I have also tried f10 with the same results.

I am just curious if anyone else out there is still having this problem.

I am afraid that I am not in the happy position of being able to test this out for you. My maximum is 30Mbs and have no problem with that so far, however I am not running the X79 chipset if it is a perculiar thing to that set of boards.

Dark Mantis,

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I think that was my biggest problem. I thought the issue was resolved because I was reaching my target speed before. I am hitting a consistent 25-30Mbps on Auto/Manual Giga link.

Anyone else out there that can test with 50Mbps+?
