how can you tell if your MB has UEFI BIOS. I am currently running a PNY GTS 450 and it work fine. My MB is an Intel DH55HC.

you google the board, find the maker, get the manual and read it. Or ask nVidia; whatever, I would not recommend taking technical advice from some anonymous poster. REMINDER: it's AMAZON, buddy, buy it, try it, and return it! EOS. Good luck.

UEFI does not have any video related tweaks and settings like BIOS has, so you will not need to change anything. Even though you will not have the more advanced options in UEFI (like video memory adjustments, voltage and multipliers for overclocking, RAM timings, etc...), you can access some low level settings (limited options on Macs and tablets). To access the low level settings in UEFI, you click Troubleshoot then Advanced Options then UEFI Firmware Settings - once it reboots you will have a few more options depending on what your OEM offers (obviously Tablets will have very few options here but PCs will have several that may be useful). If your UEFI settings do not display as much info as you may be used to in BIOS (HW info, temperatures, etc...), you can still get that information in the OS using several different app options - my favorite is Speccy. Hope this helps. ^_^

It is CRAP send it back. I went thru 2 of these and they both died so there is a problem they wont admit to on this board. buy ASUS MB they are the best. These people also have crappy support. STAY AWAY form gigabyte (I hope they feel this)

I'm using this mobo with unibeast. Integrated graphics work great. The Wi-Fi doesn't work but everything else does. I found my multibeast settings from a post.

It works for me. I'm using it on an old Gigabyte 880GMA-UD2H. Most modern motherboards will support USB BIOS input now days.

SSDs are more suited for PCs with UEFI enabled motherboard, rather than the original BIOS (Basic Input Output System).The SSD will still work but not optimally. Hybrid SSD-HDD are fine, but you will not notice a large increase in response speed.

It wasn't for me. I have a regular BIOS system (not the UEFI) so I was not able to use any drives connected to it to boot from. But it does work well for secondary drives.

Sorry, I do not know, actually I still have my mine, it didn't work in my current MB, I need to get another MB, but not sure which one myself, I know the bio is different for this processor, that is why it won't work in my present MB, that has problems.

My experience would say yes, what you're asking is certainly possible and that you should also contact Gigabyte and/or provide more info to be sure. In general what you're asking is a common setup. You should check to make sure your mSATA port is SATA 3 also, because I have the feeling it might not be.I'm back because I became curious and did some homework. I foresee no problems and that you'll likely just have to tell it to boot to mSATA in BIOS. It also appears that your mSATA is SATA 2, if that matters to you.

It depends on your BIOS, a quick google search indicates you may have UEFI BIOS, pf which I don't have any knowledge. Some common codes that mostly match: One Long and Two Short Beeps Video Display Circuitry AMI: 3 Beeps Base 64 Kb Memory Failure, memory failure occurred Pheonix: 2-_-_ Any combination of beeps after two means that some of your memory is bad Award: 1 Long Beep and 2 Short Beeps - DRAM Parity failure.

Both boarsd I ordered were rev 2.1, which claims to support DDR3-1333 memory. The box should say which memory types it supports though.I should mention though that I couldn't even get this board to POST, with either one I recieved. It seems to be VERY picky about your hardware configuration and would not boot no matter what I did. Your mileage may very, but just a heads up.

Sorry but I am unable to identify your mother board! Is it GIGABYTE a GA-970A-UD3 AM3? If so the Gigabyte site indicates it needs 1.5V DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules. The Kingston units are 1.65v and may not operate successfully!

You should refer to the ASUS website support section for that answer. You will need to know the model and version number for your mobo.

Yes, it does. From the product description: GIGABYTE 3D BIOS (Dual UEFI) Supports Intel WiFi/ WIDI technology Integrated Bluetooth 4.0 and Intel Wi-Fi module. It's all included.

Yes.... BUT you will have to take a few steps: 1. Befor you insert the win7 hard drive go into the bios and change the UEFI boot over to LEGACY boot... Save settings then shut down. 2. Insert the win7 hard drive and start the computer. 3. Go to MSI.com and get all the windows 7 drivers for the MSI GT70 Dominator (NOT MSI GT70 DOMINATOR PRO) 4. Install drivers restarting between each driver install. 5. After last restart you should be good to go with all devices working properly! Hope I helped... Note: When I first got this computer I did the same thing. But due curiosity I gave win8.1 a try if you have patience with learning your way around a little different version of windows its actually a really good OS so long as you set it to boot to desktop of course :) Not pushing you to try it but just a thought... now Im using win8.1 and its my preference. Enjoy this machine if you get its awesome!

Did you press f2 on restart? Not on initial start but bring it up then do a restart. I know that sounds weird but that is how I got my HE to see the 2GB memory. Hit the f2 key multiple times to get to the BIOS screen. When I installed the 667 mhz memory on my HE the vids were choppy, I replaced it with an 800 mhz and the problem is gone. Maybe I got a bad module, who knows?
