I would do the same with the newer version of ASUS probe and bios 1001.a as it would with 1003>which also corrects the temp readings but from what I have seen bios 1001.a is the most stable of all at the moment...

Does 1003.002 fix the cold boot problem? Is there any improvement in performance or overclocking stability comapred to 1001.a? I have tried 1002, but it drops my agp 4X to 2X and its not very stable like 1001.a, so i flashed back to 1001.a. I wish ASUS release a good BIOS soon.

=====================================================
PIII 700@1008 at 1.8v 1001.a , idle temp 29-32 C and 41 C full load with FC-PAL35.
can do 1035 at 1.8v but no go for games.

All these has been discussed in great glory details in the forum at http://www.cusl2.com

agree with bartman the 1001.a bios more stable than the other bios, even it's has a cpu temp problem, but the new asus probe fix it already, i am still use the 1001.a bios until now

I've tried all three BIOS revisions. The temps seem realistic enough but the CPU fan sometimes are in excess of 8000 RPM. I don't think so ASUS. They'd disintegrate from centrifugal force.

Funny what you say about the fan speed: I found that on both types of Asus boards I've been messing with (CUSL2 and A7V) there is a common problem: chassis fans suddenly are reported to be stopped, but in reality they're happily churning away. In all cases the fans were low speed (2700 rpm nominal). Of course I have to disable them in PC Probe if I want to use it.
Strange, ain't it? (latest PC Probe didn't help, anyway the problem seems to be the BIOS not the probe).
