    Question Higher Cpu Temp, After Flashing Bios-a7m266

    Just went 11C up, after I flashed my new A7M266 to 1005.02B. (it came with rev. 1004A)....
    Its now showing 48C under fully load (36-37C before!)
    Was just wondering, cause I read thru the Forum before I flashed it and no one ever said anything about the rising temps with the 1005 :-( Is it just me or true ?

    I don't think Asus has officially released this bios. I checked their website and 1004a is the last official release for A7M... Have you confirmed this is for the A7M board?

    No problem here that I know of every thing looks normal just add slew rate to your memory settings and the temp thing and it shows you ddr rate or something like that in boot below your mghz mine shows 280(@140fsb). I tried to go to the 1004a bios but got an error so I guess I'll just keep this one until I hear differant.

    If it wasn´t for A7M it wouldn´t work this good
    No difference actually All benchmarks are the same.
    Only differece is S2K Slew Rate and that the temperature is reported correctly instead of 10c too little.
