As I posted here before, I have a problem since I installed it, windows recognizes drive A (floppy), while I don't actually have one...

Other than that I noticed no difference, anyone else tried it?

I have it installed. No problems.

Did you disable Floppy support in your BIOS?

I agree moving to F4 wasn't very necessary, although I don't feel any stability issues so far.
I did try to disable floppy in the BIOS, but maybe there's other place I didn't notice there.

Now that think out it, I suspect the F4 BIOS actually made my floppy stop working. (Would no longer show up in Windows). I just disabled the Floppy controller in the BIOS.

it didn't show up before you disabled it, or after?

I'm gonna mail this thread to gigabyte's support, seems like F4 is fvcking people's system up. They better patch it or somthing.

The floppy worked fine when I originally built the system and with F1 and F2 bios versions, (skipped F3) so F4 is probably to blame. There's a tiny posibility a cable is loose inside the tower, but I'm too lazy to check since I never use the floppy drive.
