Gigabyte X58A-UD3R 2.0 VT-d unlock

[sapperlott]

Hi!

I've got a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R 2.0 where Intel VT-d cannot be enabled in the BIOS setup. VT-x can be enabled through "MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T.)" -> "Miscellaneous Settings" -> "Virtualization Technology".

The most recent BIOS version is FE:

The Foxconn Bloodrage has VT-d options under "Advanced Chipset Features" (which isn't even there in the Gigabyte BIOS):

I can't get Modbin6 2.04.03 to open this, nor have I gotten it to open the BIOS for the rev 1. But I did give you Intel Matrix RAID 10.1, JMicron JMB363 1.08.01, Realtek PXE 2.37.

Thanks but it's really the VT-d options I'm after

I have rev 1 myself and I was annoyed when I realized the lack of the VT-d option as well. I might not buy Gigabyte next time, but I'm also not going to buy Asus until they give us a newer Intel Matrix RAID ROM.

I confirmed X58A-UD3R 2.0 supports VT-D with my i950.
I am not sure when it was added by the latest beta bios FH1 do have this option after pressing Ctrl-F1.
