- Check out my new video on Upgrading to UEFI BIOS for Gigabyte Motherboards
• Upgrading to UEFI BIOS...
This is a supplemental guide to building a hackintosh but is also a general guide for updating the BIOS for future compatibility and system stability.
For the most part, this should also work for most Gigabyte motherboards but it is important that you download the correct BIOS update for your model.

The year is: 2023 and I'm here to thank you for teaching this a long time ago. thank you mate
cant find the site
Even though this video is almost 7 years old it is still super helpful. Thank you!
this is a very delicate operation!
Thank You!!!! The PDF from the gigabyte website was 15 pages long and told me to use a floppy disk!!! This was a life saver.
you explained this very well, especially going from the old bios straight to the latest. This worked for GA-Z77X-D3H. Thank You very much for presenting this.
Did you update for Win10?
Used this video to assist in the update of my Z77-D3H.
Thanks ever so much for uploading.
Excellent Johnny, I am looking at buying a second hand N68 Board so its good to know this, and you have done a great job of explaining everything. again many thanks
Wow, very nice video. Comprehensive and detailed, even showing the F8 key. Thank you!
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Got an used i7 3770 with a Gigabyte ga-z77x-ud3h last week. It had F14 and I flashed to F18 to get sound working in Linux 3.16. Although my steps were a bit different this tutorial gave me a good idea of what to do. Thanks!
I've got all this to come. Was a bit nervous about updating the bios, having never done it before but you made it seem pretty simple. Hope it works out that way for me. I'm cursed when it comes to computers lol. Thanks for the guide.
You are the only guy that is calm and speak that people can understand thanks
I JUST now updated mu BIOS manually following your video step by step. Thanks again! You are my hero for today!
Thank you so much! I've recently been having issues with a BSOD. Did some research and found that a BIOS update should remedy my problem. Following your video worked perfect for me and I hope I don't get any more BSODs
Which BSOD wad it pls?
Ive been having an issue for 2 wks
@@fatemanasrin7579 that I cannot tell you as my original comment was 10 years ago and I don't remember.
Thanks I built my computer on a few days before christmas updated the BIOS and it has been working great since.
You know. This video is still useful!!
Agree
After 8 years I followed this tutorial and I'm proud to say that I survived this delicate operation.
thanks man. reviving an old school pc. followed your instructions to update the bios. thanks!
Thanks for the awesome video guide! I have a GA-Z77X-UD3H and flashing the BIOS is very similar. 1st build and this was a great step-by-step instruction to flash the bios! I would just add that the flash drive needs to be in the usb port when the computer boots up.
Your explanation is really kind and helpful. Thank you so much!
thanks ma bro. I used your video for my xeon w3690 . Updated the bios (not the beta) and it works now!
Thanks for the video! I followed it step by step and updated my bios, no problems.
Still useful after 12 years , thanks!
Glad it worked. Thanks for watching!
thanks man, I'm reviving an old FX 8320 PC and needed a little help navigating the bios
Legendary. Already subscribed to your channel. Thank you heaps my bios is fully updated.
You... Sir... Are the best tutorial person for BIOS! Did not fail once... That is a record for me :P
Glad it worked out for you. Thanks for watching!
***** The USB does not have to be bootable. Just Fat32 formatted works best.
I updatet my 970A-UD3 gigabyte motherboard bios right now by following what you told me to. And guess what?. Now it works smoothly , i can play all the games i couldn't before. Thanks man i appreciate it soo much !!!!
Thanks for the tip and for watching!
Thanks for the video! It seems to be working well. The problem was occurred because the flash drive's format was NTFS instead of FAT.
Thank you so much, i was in a shitty situation where i needed to Update my BIOS but dident now how to do it. Thanks again
Dang 4.6? That is awesome. I can't say it will be updated for the fx series cpu but you should check to see what the oldest bios version is and if that supports fx. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thank you! Answered all the questions!
i had an old motherboard, this video helped me
I am looking into it now and I will be making a video on me doing this to my system.
when I installed other 2 rams on my remaining slots I get blue page and restarting windows, does BIOS updating helps or not ?
Not the Letter F and the Number 8 -- priceless... ;DDD
Thank you so much. This hint was a great help for me.
great video .. really helpful , thanks for uploading!
Could you please make an updated video showing how to Update newer Gigabyte mother borads with the new BIOS?
Thanks for the help. Worked Perfectly!!!
Just wanted to say thank you. Very helpful.
I might look into doing that for the UEFI BIOS. It is the new BIOS that will be on most all new machines soon. It's just difficult to do because many motherboard manufacturers have so many different features and sometimes will name the features differently from one another. So if I make a video for one mother mother it would not apply to all or many. It might only apply to a few models. I will need to do more research. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Man you are the best!! This helped me a lot! Subed!
Well, I feel kinda goofy, lol The power supply that I use had a bad plug on it and when I connected a laptop hard drive to another plug it recognized the HDD and took the operating system so all is well now, Thank you very much for getting back to me and trying to help me. Again thank you for the BIOS explanation, It worked perfect and running smoothly.
thank you so much, the best video ever .
Very helpful👍🏻 good and clear explanation
Such a nice and cleat explanation
Thank you! It was very helpful for me
Estou em 2024 e seu vídeo foi muito util, obrigado
I was wondering if you could do a bios specific video? Explaining not all, but most of the essential bios settings and what they do. I'm building my first hackintosh soon and i will be using a gigabyte motherboard. No overclocking though. But i'd like to have some more background knowledge on bios settings to tweak my system. I figured you could explain in great detail about different settings. Looks complicated! Great video.
Beautiful, thanks for this.
Thank you for suggestion (recommending) to format to FAT only. Because my machine could not locate my drive formated as FAT32, so FAT helped.
Thank you very much. ;-)
Thanks a lot. Nice and easy to understand.
I suggest going to the website and looking at what the updated bios does in the newest version. Honestly I don't recommend updating unless something like an upgrade is not working at all. Bios updates do not usually increase performance or adds new features like turning usb 2.0 into usb 3.0. The old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Thanks for watching!
2022.... Still helpful for me to update my server to put a better cpu. Thank u!
Good Video brotherm, Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the tutorial!
this still helps thanks mate!
Great tutorial! Good job man! =)
this video was super helpful
Hvala puno na ovom pustvu,uspelo iz prve i sve ok. pozzz
Thanks :) working nice
thank you bro for your help
Thank you!
Glad it worked out!
HELP i have a Gigabyte-78LMT-USB3 motherboard and im trying to update the bios, when i click on my drive in Q-FLash the file on my drive is not listed so there is nothing there to update? what can i do?
What revision do you have? If you go to the website, under the model name there are some words like rev 3.0 rev 1.4 rev 1.3 rev 1.2. You have to click on the correct rev you have on the motherboard. They printed your version on the lower left corner of the motherboard. Next the the words Designed in Taipei.
Thanks for watching! I am going to include in the annotation that it is a safer bet to leave it as FAT formatted.
Best guy ever! saved my day and everyday
thanks alot, this may help me fix some problems
What board do you have and what ports are they plugged into exactly?
Thanks it helped a lot!
Any idea where Legacy / UEFI setting is for HDD on this board? I cant find it.
thanks for watching and good luck!
Do they not have an update for Win8.1?
I have gigabyte ga 78 lmt usb3 mobo. Can i install windows 10 via usb drive (flashed by selecting TARGET SYSTEM as GPT disk) and boot it in uefi mode?
Does it support uefi boot feature? Or does it support the same after updating the bios?
NEED SOME INFO ON THIS. APPRECIATE SM HELP!
Im trying to boot off a new m.2 ssd adapter port on this same mother board. The computer can see it when logged in, but nothing when In Bios mode, any help?
Well done mate,I was having big problems after messing with the bios,(Load Optimized Defaults)Then the PC would not Boot!!!? your settings were a God Send !! thanks a lot,keep up the good work My PC has a 60gb ssd and a 1 tera byte hard drive,after changing the PCH Sata control Mode to AHC1 the pc booted/up.Iam a bit scared of touching it now ??(what is AHC1) thanks Stewy
When it asked to use quick or normal flash i wasn't sure but i picked normal becaused it seemed like a more safe option and that seems to be the case because It worked.
hi friend thank you very much for your input you have helped me a lot with your video thank you
@djole81 No but you can do that by using an older version of bios. It is the same process as this video.
Hello great vid. Would you happen to know what settings need to be disabled/enabled before beginning to overclock for a 78lmt-usb3 rev. 5.0 BIOS? I'm looking everywhere but can't find anything.
For anyone having trouble in the bios menu, gigabyte released software called @bios that let's you update bios from the desktop. Super easy.
yeah, I saw that the bios was for a different version of my motherboard.
Thanks
Buen vídeo y bien explicado gracias✌🏻
gracias!
Thanks for your help.
Hi Johnny!
Let me ask you something!
For precaution for reasons of a power break is better do the updating with a no-break? isn´t?
Thanks!
On GA970a-UD3 rev 1.2 there is no uefi bios, while in rev 3.0 there is. If I flashed it with rev 3.0 would it work, or would it be a terrible mistake to do so?
@iPhonemod702 Unfortunately I do not have the Skyrocket anymore. I returned it and will be waiting for the SGS3 in April. By then, LTE for AT&T will be out and for now I want to use Windows Phone 7.
Dude thx soo much you saved me :)
so i have an hp pavillion p6310f with a pegatron m2n78-la(viola6) am3 motherboard and im trying to find the bios update to where i can use am3+ cpus. can someone help me please?
Waoo thank you for your help
I got windows 10 on this motherboard .. can I put clover on this with Yosemite?
in starting a build with the amd athlon x4 860k and using the gigabyte ga-f2a88xm d3h , can the mobo support the cpu right out of the box ?
Very Usefull, Thanks.
Thanks so much for posting this, I just built my first system and I'm going to need to update my Gigabyte mobo [GA-990FX-UD3]. I thought it may be daunting but your instructions are simple and concise. Cheers!
What if I have latest Bios version right now (updated through @BIOS) and I want to setup one of the first versions from Gigabyte website?
All right well, I search for recent BIOS updates specifially for my 970A-D3 motherboard under the manufacturer website (Gigabyte), and only two results appeared. F10 and F11c. F11c seems to be a still in beta. So do you think the F10 BIOS will fix my CPU issue with Steam games?
Thank you very much. It works perfect. Greetings from Chile ;)
when i try to load the update file from the drive it says: "file size incorrect"
