    Just a word of caution there, son - before you go scrambling for the newest BIOSes, make sure you have several of the older ones on hand.

    I have your board's slightly bigger brother, the GA-EX58-UD5, and last February I made a rather startling discovery - the newest BIOSes are not actually very good to use, and F13 and newer seems to generate all manner of odd timings which stop everything working together smoothly. After I went back to F12, not only did the once-a-week BSODs disappear, my DPC latency issues evaporated completely, and the machine actually ran cooler under sustained high loads.

    Further reading over at the town of Tweaks corroborated my findings, and I also learned that GA did something slightly unorthodox with the F13+ BIOSes on the GA-EX58's, which results in making it more difficult to patch a SLIC into them.

    By all means, test Serg's pair of modded files, but pay close attention to your machine's stability, and don't be afraid to go back to the stable F12.
