Which BIOS should I flash to? I am currently usen the version that came on my mobo, which is v.1003 and I can't post at anything higher than 110 fsb no matter what voltage I use. Also, my temos are jammed at 40c like everyone elses. What version fixes these probs? I have the 1006 BETA downloaded, and 1005. Which oine should I use? Thanx!

I think I read somewhere (OCP forums?) that people were having luck with the 1006. You'd probably be fine trying both, though...

I use 1005. Temp still stuck at 40C with "Asus 2" but it seems "Asus 2 (CUSL)" show the correct temp.

But I can OC to at least 133MHz FSB JumperFree.

For OC 1003 is best so far, 1006 i dont know. My board somehow has a broke cmos or something, latencies keep tightening, just send it to RMA.

Brobe v. 21505 (only) shows temp correctly.

I had 1003, and I couldn't post above 110 FSB, so it wasn't worken at all!!! Still isn't with 1006. Makes me a bit mad!
Where can i download the Monitor that actually works, and which one? Thanx!

Probe 20505 seems to be gone allready, try 20509 if it works ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/UTIL/PC_Probe/ . I can not test it at moment cause My mopo is at RMA. If it does not work, send a privat with Your E-mail, I´ll send it to You (3.6Mb).

Bios v1003 seems to be fine for OC... (English summary at end) http://www.muropaketti.com/artikkelit/cpu/northwood2200/ln2/index.phtml
