GIGABYTE latest / beta BIOS for Intel CPU motherboards

[walber01]

ok, guys, I put an question in GGTS, but my question wasn't answered til now.
I have an mobo GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 - rev 1.3, and I'd like to update my bios from f12 to uefi ( U1l ) that is the newwst bios to my mobo.
but I tried all the ways I found on the NEt, all the programs to usb bootable, and this part worked, what not worked was the update.
I was always receiving a message like " fixture is not removed or swiitch is not set to ON".
after all I used my usb drive in a USB port sata 2 ( sata 3 did not work ) and the process was normal, and my PC restarted, but was again in f12.
what I did wrong ?
I'd like very much to upgrade to this new bios.

ok, I used the q-flash, but this doesn't work too.
I cleared cmos to original, but even doing that, doesn't work.
I think this should be simple

Hi there,

no, it's not simple and you are not alone in struggling with updating from Award to AMI BIOS.

Check here: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,7410.msg70474.html#msg70474 as I go through the process a little bit and it may well help.

BUT, consider why you are wishing to update the BIOS.
If it is so you can run a newer processor then I would say go for it but, if it is just because you like the look of the UEFI BIOS and you think you will gain something then I would advise against it. This is only a personal view though, gained from my own experiences with the GA-Z68 X-UD3P-B3 and running an i5 2500k CPU.

Hi.

Can I get the bios files for my Z77 board that are not in .exe format from some were? I'm using Ubuntu so exe is no good.

edit / Why not use zip then every O.S. can open & use.?

edit2 / O.K. so I got it opened by installing p7zip & using it to open the exe.
