A7N8X Beta Bios.. anyone tested?

[Coalfax]

Being there is now a beta BIOS on the ASUS site for the A7N8X ( non deluxe ) numbered 1002.01, I am wondering what changes have been made and if there is a reason to download this and flash yet. The website is less than forthoming about what has been added or changed...

I am hoping the wanted multiplier unlock is included.. but not getting hopes up

Anyone?

Bout time..anything will be better than the gawdawful 1001's. I'm using 1001.E, and its working fine, but I'll be flashing it as soon as I get home.

I flash the new beta bios. (was running 1001.E before), didn't notice much difference, except a 2 degree increase in temp.. not sure what would do this?

edit: multipler did not seem to be unlocked.

Not surprised.. though theres no reason for a BIOS to raise your CPU temps ;-)

I guess we keep waiting.

If this is the version number you are asking about this is the info from the nforcersHQ.com website
1002.01aw4 - aw4 indicates for award bios with 4mbit flash rom (deluxe). FSB selection now goes to 250mhz (500mhz ddr). FSB Spread Spectrum locked at .5. "sync" renamed to "100%" in memory frequency selection menu. fixes an multiplier autodetection issue.

hope this helps
