Supposedly version 1004, but you'll get different opinions. Are you having any particular problem?

yeah I can't seem to get 200 fsb ................it will do 195 but not 200. I have that memory from hardcorecooling.com that was rated at 6-2-2-2 @ 200mhz so I dunno what my problem is. I would love to hit the 200 mark thats why i got this board. Oh and I have the JIUHB xp1700.

I run the Uber1004 and EVERYTHING works on this board, SATA, SOUND, I can run 200 x 11.5 but choose 197 x 12 for now. get it at www.nforcersHQ.com

what version of the asus do you have? Mine isn't the 2.0 so i'm not sure if that 1004 will mess it up or not.

I have a 1.04 deluxe board, there is a 1004 bios for this board, don't use the 1004 for the 2.0 it WILL screw your board.
Here is all the bioses for all the revs, find the one you want. I recommend the uber1004.

Search the Asus forum at www.nforcersHQ.com for posts by Demoulous, he is the "Uberizer" of these bioses. The ubers open up options in Bios that Asus doesn't allow, different timings, different voltages, the list goes on. He also packs the better SIL SATA bios in with them incase ASUS left the bad versions.

Or you could put a heatsink on the southbridge chip since I hear that It will get warm. Think I read that that was the problem......too much heat for the soundstorm chip.

I've already done that and I've put a peltier on my NB as well..
Here's the link to that project...

It's a shame that the soundstorm give up as I could run it far beyond 217 FSB... But I want the sound... No sound in game... How the heck would you know when they sneak up from behind in CS..

I am think about making an order for some case fans. Most likely from SVC (unless X-Hour is good tonight). What chipset cooler should I be looking for? I will be ordering 2 or 3 coolers. I need one for my A7N8X deluxe as well as for my two 8RDA+'s. Any help would be appreciated.
OK, ignore the number of stars I have here 'cause this is a noob question without a doubt! Which is the northbridge and which is the southbridge? I have a 8RDA+ as well as an A7N8X Deluxe. I am more interested in the cooling of the Asus board as it is in my main rig. But the 8RDA+ is in my home entertainment PC as well as in my expermental PC (win server 2k3 or linux, or win 2k, etc.
