@ Anthony Chiappette

Thx Anthony! When another 250 bucks fall from heaven, we'll give it a try

Our next MBs will probably be NOT Intel.

@Anthony Chiappette

Thank you for your reply.

I used additional SATA_allOS_1.2.0.1019_PV_Marvell (INTEL download for this MB) having these problems. Will say: the recommended configuration.

Nice to hear you can work with 32 GB.

Which BIOS version do you have installed?

EFI is disabled from the beginning - I couldn't install win7pro 64bit with EFI because it did not work with the initial bios.

Meanwhile I switched the bios to the "traditional" view. There, all HDs are visible and it is possible to arrange the boot order. So - am more than happy to start the system without the F10 work around. Obviously the programmers of the new bios GUI can't keep track.... - but who cares

This is my result:

Slot #2 the same.

And now it gets really crazy:

Updated to the BIOS -0045 dated June 13 the system doen't boot because the boot hard drive is not indicated in the bios:

Standard view: the second SSD with the Windows MBR on it is missing.

Now the advanced view:

Same thing...

Let's have a look in the SATA section:

Wow! Both SSDs showing up - and even the second WD disc is showing up - what a surprise!

But:

This means no MBR - no fun - no system start.

Let`s try again! There is a fancy feature called F10:

You won't believe it: choosing the P0-drive starts the system!

Conclusion: If we want to start this machine, we'll have to do it the fancy F10 way. This is really nice! It might be a hidden Intel feature? Slowly we understand why Ivy Bridge took some weeks more to rise and shine. It's the most crappy implementation Intel ever delivered!

Buying a MB at $230 and getting THIS with the 4th bios upgrade – well, we're running out on 4-letter-words.....

As I mentioned before: It's time to ban Intel from the vendor list.

What do YOU think?

@ robertjal

Thx - it's really a mess - the new BIOS -0045 dated June 13 doesn't fix it as well. And even there are more issues occurring now. It looks like we will ban Intel MBs from our companies!

No changes yet. MB only works with 2 of 4 8GB RAM, one in a blue slot, the other one in a black slot.

Intel Desktop Utility shows 0,720 V memory voltage (all values show a green sign), the BIOS is set to 1,5 V.

Strange!

@spearson: Any comments by the Intel tech team? Any BIOS update coming soon?

There are more severe faults with this board:

Marvell SATA controller does not work at all (latest STOR_Win7_XP_11.2.0.1006 installed). Connecting WD2002FAEX 2 TB to the gray ports results in nice bluescreens and disconnects of the hard drives!!
Heavy USB usage is not recommended. You will spend hours to find a working configiuration, especially when you try the hgh voltage ports - unacceptable.

Does anybody got 32 GB RAM working with this MB?

Please tell me the manifacturer and specification.

That would help. THX.

dislikeyou,

Thank you very much for this information.

Funny, your MB works with (similar) RAM not tested by Intel

Maybe they shouldn't recommend any RAM, so people doesn't get trapped!

spearson,

Thank you for your reply.

I just put all the 4 pieces of Corsair CMX32GX3M4A1600C11 into our last year's Intel MB DP67BAB3 ---- works excellent, even at XMP-1600! Ran the Windows memory check which results OK. So, I can be sure all Corsair items are working correctly.

It is pretty obvious: DZ77GA-70K (BIOS GAZ7711H.86A.0039.2012.0426.1522) has severe problems!

Does anybody got 32 GB RAM working on this MB? Please tell me the manifacturer and some specification. That would help. THX.
