Is this BIOS good?

I read that my z77xud5h board has to support uefi (it does). And that it needs to support GOP UEFI bios for my GTX 960 by ASUS (I don't know how to figure that out). And that the graphics card has to have a uefi vbios on it (I am pretty sure it does). All this just to get fastboot on my z77xud5h to show. What else do I need to do to get fastboot to show in my bios? I heard that the modded bios f16g (doesn't show on gigabytes site last I checked, only on mediafire.com) works on the board, and that it has the fastboot option. And my board also physically support dual bios in case of a bios flash problem. But if the flash works but I want to go back to the f14 bios that I am currently on. Is the f14 downloadable bios file on gigabytes site different in any way from the f14 that shipped with the boards?

 

What do you guys think? how the f@#K do I get fastboot option in my bios? Keep in mind, that it used to be there until I disabled it, went back to bios and I never saw it again.

 

I'm sorry if this post isn't making sense. I just had to get it all on here before I forgot it again. If you don't understand a certain part, let me know and I will try to better explain.

 

Thanks guys for the help!!!!

I found an F16g BIOS for my Z77x-UD%H WB rev 1.1 board. I was wanting the Fastboot option, but I read multiple warnings of BIOS flashing. My question is, is this BIOS for this board stable for generual use and OC? Also, does its fastboot option work without hanging during bootup?

F16g? Gigabyte doesn't have that on their website(and their latest two are beta's). Either that version got pulled or its the wrong bios.

*Risky click of the day*

I found it off of another site that claims it works with my board.

Do you know of a stable bios that has the fastboot feature for my Z77X-UD5H WB rev1.1?

Very true. Brick your machine or get rekt by a sneaky rootkit. 

 

 

 

 

Either way op, only ever download bios updates from the manufacturers website.
