A8V Deluxe rev2.0 - where did all the CPU settings go?

Purchased the Asus A8V rev2 board with bios 1.09 preinstalled. After reading lots of reviews of this board I came to the conclusion that it would be "sweet" for overclocking an Athlon64 Winchester 3000+. What I do not understand though is where the h... did all the CPU settings go? When I select "manual" for AI Overclocking I am left with CPU FSB frequency (200-300MHz). The CPU Speed/Voltage Setting, CPU Multiplier and CPU Voltage options are completely missing. According to the reviews I have seen these settings should be available in the BIOS. Did Asus remove them in BIOS rev 1.09? If so what BIOS rev do I need while still having support for 0.09 micr. Athlons? AFAIK the 0.09 micr. Athlons require BIOS rev 1.07 or later.

Any help would be highly appreciated since I'm not able to achieve a decent overclock with these options missing

Thanks for replying. However I have already set the AI overclocking option to [Manual] but it doesn't open up any secret/hidden options. Here's what I got and their settings

AI overclocking = [Manual]
CPU FSP Frequency = [200]
AGP/PCI Frequency = [66/33]
DDR Voltage = [2.6]
AGP Voltage = [1.5]
V-Link Voltage = [2.5] (as far as I remember)

No matter what I select for option 1 (and 2) I don't get any other options that the ones listed above.

Managed to crack this nut myself. It turned out that disabling the "AMD Cool & Quiet" option in the BIOS brings back the missing CPU settings I was referring to. I had the Cool & Quiet option set to enabled. Maybe this is logical considering the way the Cool & Quiet technology works - what do I know :)

Hope this might help some other A8V user(s) who can't find all the CPU tweaking/overclocking options.
