Hi.
I have Windows 10 installed in UEFI mode and everything is working fine. My question is: Why there is no "Windows Boot Manager" boot option and my system boot using "UEFI: OCZ VERTEX 3" option. Should i change something?
Thanks.

Greetings,
See my first reply in the following thread.
https://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=18616.0
The same applies to your situation here. A newer BIOS could contain updated features supporting windows 8/10, CSM, UEFI and/or Secure Boot. However, there is no guarantee given the board's age.

I know about this. I actually can enable secure boot and fast boot with windows 10 uefi. My question is why it says "UEFI:OCZ...." and not "Windows Boot Manager" in boot option, like most photos from gigabyte motherboards online. Is created that way, is it a visual bug or something similar, or it has something to do with the instalation of Windows 10. When i first installed them i had a GPU without uefi bios, but i now have uefi vbios.

Did you do a clean install and did use the UEFI DVD drive or UEFI USB to install it. The windows 10 disk has to be in the drive or USB with windows 10 on it plug in. So it can be seen it in the bios before you can boot to one of them. Or you just loaded it without doing that. It will not load the boot manager.
When it gets to the point where ask you to do a Upgrade on custom install. Pick custom install and delete all partition. Then click on the new tab let it set things up. Once it is done click on the lg partition and click OK. I have installed windows 10 100's of times if you don't have thing set right it will not work.

I performed a clean install with all partition deleted, from a DVD using UEFI: WINDOWS 10 option to install. I don't completely understant the first paragraph you wrote.....
My PC boot fine and windows reports that it is in uefi. Also i can disable csm ,which for some reason make bios extremely laggy, and also enable secure boot. All of them working fine.

I understand you are using UEFI. But did you pick the one that says UEFI DVD drive to boot from? Or did you just pick the DVD drive.
Did you click on new after you deleted the partition before you installed windows or did you just click OK. If you click new it makes 4 partition. If you just click ok it might not set the it up to install the boot manager into the bios.

I used UEFI DRIVE.
I dont remember the second part, but i have 4 partition. Also i use the BCDEdit command, i see these:
Windows Boot Manager
--------------------
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume2

Windows Boot Loader
-------------------
identifier {current}
device partition=C:

osdevice partition=C:

I mean everything seems write, maybe it's just bios visual bug.

Ok went in look at the book and that board might not say windows boot manager.
Boot Option Priorities &&
Specifies the overall boot order from the available devices. For example, you can set hard drive as the first priority
(Boot Option #1) and DVD ROM drive as the second priority
(Boot Option #2). The list only displays the device with the highest priority for a specific type. For example, only hard drive defined as the first priority on the Hard Drive BBS Priorities submenu will be presented here.
Removable storage devices that support GPT format will be prefixed with "UEFI:" string on the boot device list. To boot from an operating system that supports GPT partitioning, select the device prefixed with "UEFI:" string.
Or if you want to install an operating system that supports GPT partitioning such as Windows 7 64-bit, select the optical drive that contains the Windows 7 64-bit installation disk and is prefixed with "UEFI:" string.
