Gigabyte X58A-UD9 and 980X BIOS problems

XxDeadlyxX · 19th July 2010, 11:51 AM

I have a UD9 and a 980X, I have been insulating and spray coating the board etc for a phase change setup, I just put dielectric grease in the socket and installed the 980X, and decided to boot up on air cooling first to make sure everything is OK.

It boots and I can get into BIOS, and I can navigate around the BIOS, except when I try and enter the Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker page (with all the overclocking stuff), it locks up and I can't choose any of the options, have to reset.

I haven't tried just booting from a HDD yet, just got bare essentials connected.

Does this mean I have damaged some of the pins on the mobo during installation? The mobo has F1 BIOS. Anyone else get this problem?

Ok nevermind just realised it's an issue with the F1 bios. Phew.

yeah I was going to say it's probably the bios need updating,first thing I did when I kicked my board up was update it to the latest F4c bios and it's running great,looks like it's up to F4e now http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/giga...st-bios-28441/
