Some info thought I'd share with people running A7N8X-D rev1.04 boards:
Been running the 13x multi trick in my silent rig for some time now on the A7N8X-D Rev 1.04, then the other day saw new (somewhat) bios rev1008, stating that it adds fsb400 table for rev 1.04 and 1.06 boards.
Woop diggidy, do the flash, loose the wire trick, enable lower multis and:

(with 1007 bios I could not boot above 195fsb).
Wierdly enough a step above 201fsb and you get all sorts of wierd errors (at 205 fsb, it corrupted windows files, had to reinstall). Heheh, it actually almost posts at 220 FSB, but hangs on drive detection
Anyhoo, 200fsb was good enough for me, then came a nice long gaming session and came the hangs. Mem timing didnt matter relax or tight same thing, neither did CPU speed, I went down to 1.7ghz, same chit. Then touched north bridge, it was scorching hot.
So had to go down to 195FSB, so far seems to take it.
Conclusion? Dont bother with the new bios. Stick with what you have now.
PS. It actually broke 3gig once:

/wipes a tear. Not too bad for an obsolete board.
