What, are you going to report this to GigaByte?


No, but you should if you haven't already. I think GigaByte probably gets its BIOS from another BIOS vendor (maybe Intel), so when that vendor provides them with an update, they'll probably provide it on their website. And from what I understand, an Intel BIOS update is in the works to address this issue for Intel boards, so a GigaByte version may follow shortly. I don't have an exact timeframe though...


I reported this to GigaByte, and lo and behold, they sent me a fixed BIOS within 48 hours.
Kudos to Taipeh!

They sent the BIOS image in a private message, so it might take a while before it's available
on their website.



Wow, totally the opposite from Intel.
