Re: dz77ga-70k wireless mouse sometimes not work in visual bios

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 03:20:44 GMT

I've experienced the same issue with my Logitech T650 wireless trackpad. What _usually_ works is to connect the mouse dongle to one of the USB 3.0 ports closest to the HDMI connector on the rear panel. Then,

in the Devices and Peripherals tab of the BIOS settings, make sure there is a checkmark in the box next to "USB 3.0 Hub Presence."

The point is that you may be able to fiddle with voltage and timing specs on the motherboard to get the processor to run in an "overclocked" condition if you desire to do so, but Intel doesn't recommend it and Intel doesn't support it (even if they make it possible with the "K" family processors). No big mystery.

Also make sure "support for legacy devices" or something similar is enabled in BIOS settings. My 70K couldn't find the Cruizer with the .BIO file until I remembered to set that option.

EDIT: Support for legacy USB devices under the USB tab of the peripherals menu

Check Radio Shack (or some other supplier of electronics for hobbyists) for brush-on liquid insulation coating. It's opaque, very thick and applies easily. Non-conductive. Once it's cured, it can be removed by simply peeling it off.

Mine is from CG Electronics (Carl Goldberg) and the part number is 10-1762. Comes in s 60ml bottle, which appears to be a lifetime supply.

Re: DZ77RE-75K - Problems with shutdown

If you are running Windows 7/8 try disabling hibernation by opening an administrator level command window and typing:

powercfg /H off<enter>

Close the command window and reboot the machine.

Also, if running Windows 8 with a user account tied to online (cloud) services try creating a new user with a local only account and boot the machine into that user. From there, test the shutdown behavior and see if the delays persist.

Re: Updating BIOS DZ77GA-70K

BIOS updates are cumulative. The latest update will include updates previously released in earlier revisions. You can update directly from an earlier version to the latest.

Re: DZ77GA-70K fails to boot with Northgate Omnikey 101 keyboard attached

Go into the BIOS setup and make sure the PS/2 port is enabled. I think it's under the peripheral tab, but I'm not positive. The setting is there somewhere.

Also, if your OmniKey has the built-in macro function make sure that is disabled (or clear any existing macros that may be in memory).

Re: Memory issue on a DZ77GA-70K

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 16:31:41 GMT

The spec sheet for this memory specifies slightly slower timing settings compared to the JEDEC standard and board defaults for DDR3 memory modules (10/27 vs 9/24). Not very much slower, but the tolerances with high density memory are pretty tight and not much has to go wrong before things....ah, go wrong.

Try mounting just one module and booting the machine into BIOS setup. From the Visual Bios(tm) main page select the Performance tab. Then select the Memory tab. The first entry on the left pane of the /performance/memory tab should be a pull down menu labeled "performance memory profile." Click on the arrow to reveal the options and select the appropriate profile for your memory.(there probably won't be more than one option, but if there is select one that mentions "1600" somewhere.

Save the changes the the BIOS setup and exit (F10). When the machine begins to reboot and the Intel splash screen is visible you can power off, install the other modules and test the machine for operation with the new settings.

Re: Fresh DZ77GA-70K with stock BIOS. What is the ideal process to update?

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 00:24:55 GMT

I agree with the dog. The support agent who recommended that you apply BIOS updates sequentially needs some retraining.

BIOS updates are cumulative...i.e., the latest release includes all of the changes made in previous releases (excepted as noted in the release notes document).

My personal experience with the GA-70K has been that BIOS 0063 is desirable. It fixes issues with the Marvell (secondary) SATA disk controller and some oddness in the USB subsystem (at least for me), among other things.

Those are the only two things they've decided to disclose. Who knows what other changes they made?
