If your FX is a Winchester, all the current BIOS's are suspect. So try the latest i.e 1009.005. On the other hand if your Fx is a Newcastle, you should have no problems. Any BIOS i.e 1006 up, will work fine without problems.

yea about that

i wanted to know another thing about the bios the older one that came with my board seemd to take my cpu wiht vapochill to -54 degrees c and but when i upgraded the bios my mb wouldnt boot up due to the temp setting or somethign in the bios tha twont let it boot past -10 c
?? whats up with this and why would asus do such a thing ??

As I was saying, the newer BIOS(s) suck. Revet back to the earlier one.
BTW is it the 1007 BIOS?

Well how do I flash back to the older bios. I can't use the auto bios program that runs via windows because it doen't like to flash back to older dates. How do I flash in with a floppy.

Look here:-

you can edit the bios date

the asus bios manage seems to look at the dat of the bios to see if it is newr one than the one you ahve to you can open up your bios image in hexworkshop and in the last line on the right colm you will find the date just upgrde the day by 1 day and your asus bios manger shoudl see that it is a newer bios and allow you to upgrade >

Usually, the last number tells you if the BIOS is the latest in a particular series. The higher the number before the decimal, the newer the series.

For example 1009.006 is newer than 1009.005. (Higher number after the decimal i.e .006 > .005)
And 1009.005 is newer than 1008.006(Higher number before the decimal i.e 1009 > 1008)

If you follow the link below you will always get the latest BIOS, so keep track of this page:-

This is the latest BIOS (Usually the Betas are the newest ones but may not have all problems fixed):-
The latest Beta 1009.006

BTW: Why do you want to edit the date?? If you are familiar with editing BIOSes can you please hack the BIOS to increase the VDimm (Memory Voltage) from 2.8 to 3.0 Volts?

Hope this helps!
