Hello, I’ve come across an old GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 and I wanted to flash UEFI on it. Could anyone look into it and fix a bios for me? I already tried files in #5 but it returns “BIOS ID mismatch” error when I’m trying to flash it from DOS, so it is probably a wrong revision (I have rev. 1.1)? The reason for uefi is that i have an i7 3770K CPU and it behaves like a locked (non-K) one with current bios, UEFI should fix it.
This is a bios I currently use:
http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/BIO…-ud3p-b3_f9.exe
And I’d like to use this UEFI if possible (but any uefi would be nice for my mobo if I get it working):
http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/BIO…-ud3-b3_u1d.exe
If I buy a programmer with a clip (so that I don’t have to solder anything) and just flash P67A-UD3-B3 UEFI without any modifications, will it work? Are the BIOS ID modifications necessary or it doesn’t matter when I use the programmer and not an app?
Edit: long story short… It did boot with some of them (I’ve tried 3-4), but USB + some PCIe slots didn’t work so there is more to it than just bad 4 Pin Fans or audio.

Hi Lost_N_BIOS, Could you please re-post the GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 to GA-P67X-UD3R-B3 mod BIOS originally at http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=84239158085891922913 Cheers, Andrew

May be somebody else have UEFI mod GA-P67A-UD3P-B3?
I have the scheme MB but I haven’t relevant skills for modify flash 
@Paralen963 @Lost_N_BIOS ?
First, flash the Award BIOS from the P67X-UD3R-B3 model with the changed ID

It is best to flash the same BIOS, but the original one from Gigabyte’s website again, as there may be different IDs in different places in the ROM.
Then flash the UEFI from the P67X motherboard.
For other users - the modification is very simple. All you need is a hex editor (such as HxD). You download the BIOS Award for your board and the one you want to modify.
At the end you will find the ID of the motherboard (it should start with 7A on Award)
Overwrite the ID of the BIOS what you want to flash (in my example Z68XUD3.F13) by your current board BIOS ID (P67AUD33.F9). Save, then you can already flash that BIOS. Next, you should flash the original BIOS (Z68XUD3.F13) with unmodified ID. Then all you need to do is flash the UEFI BIOS of target motherboard

Is it possible to flash bios from Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-B3 (which has support for Ivy Bridge) to Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3 to run i5 3470 on it?
Hi, any chance to mod or upgrade BIOS on Gigabyte GA-P67A-D3-B3 rev. 1.0 to support i7 3770K O’C? I currenly have the latest official BIOS F7 (non-UEFI) and just got 3770K but disappointed that max. multi that can be set in SETUP is 39x and even wit this it boot with 37x only
Gigabyte has some UEFI version but only for HW rev. 2.0 - not sure if it would work. I also found somewhere some (probably unofficial) file P67AD3B3.U1D but it’s not clear for what HW rev. it is…
Well, upgrading ME module from 7.x to 8.x was enough, now I can set mul. up to 59x…
Yes.
First, flash this BIOS with changed ID, by me, for your board (7A89UG09)
Then re-flash the original BIOS from the board with the B3 note.
P.S. you need to upload the original a second time, because elsewhere after uploading you may still see the board ID P67-UD3 (without B3)
Thanks mate! But Qflash doesnt like checksum of your file (06F6). I fixed it by reinserting Logo.bmp with cbrom155. Now checksum is D800, but Qflash still dont like the file. What can I do?
Thank you very much! Looks like almost everything is ok, now I have Ivy Bridge Xeon onboard.
But as I saw at first loading, second (backup) bios was overwritten by new one so this dual-bios protection is not very solid
Have issue with usb keyboard - doesnt work until windows load. Tried to toggle USB Legacy and Fast Boot on and off, but no success.
And it froze couple of times on windows desktop loading - keep looking on it.
You can try UEFI BIOS for P67A-UD3-B3. The AWARD → AMI update tool overwrites both BIOSes, to prevent this, flash it via the flashrom tool.
Command: flashrom -p internal -c “name of your BIOS chip, like MX25L3206E” -w (BIOS file)

UEFI U1d from P67A-UD3-B3 working on the PH67A-UD3-B3 (H67 without iGPU video output) with no problems I flashed it using flashrom so second BIOS chip has still original Award BIOS.
Edit: Probably any Gigabyte H61/P67/Z68 UEFI BIOS’es work LOL. Of course with problems, but still, it shouldn’t work at all.
It should work. You also have a physical dual BIOS, to prevent flashing backup SPI use flashrom method what I described above. I tested it, Award Backup and UEFI main works fine
I already tried to flash it via flashefi.exe (official way, this flashed both chips) without any error. But after power-cycle I got only the initial splashscreen and cannot get any futher, neither boot OS nor setup. It just responded to Num/Caps/ScrollLock and CTRL+ALT+DEL but nothing else. Then I had to flash back old Award via my SPIPGM tool. So I think that this UEFI image is not compatible with my MB rev. 1.0 but it’s only for rev. 2.0. I don’t need UEFI anyway so just trying…
Try to flash it by flashrom as I said. You can try BIOS from another board because you will update only Main BIOS (M_BIOS UEFI and B_BIOS Award or vice versa works normally)
Ok, it’s more comfortable to flash only one chip but as I see that UEFI for same board different revision doesn’t work I highly doubt that image for different board would work properly. There could be just a small difference in one GPIO and it goes wrong…
On the PH67A-UD3-B3 worked partially correctly even BIOS from H61 boards,such as P61A-D3, from all P67 and Z68 all the more.
