A7N8X deluxe, new bios = lower FSB?

[Alarmer]

Hi there.

I needed to upgrade my A7N8X deluxe (rev. 1.04) bios from 1004 --> 1007 because 1004 SATA rom didint support 200g SATA HDD.

After this upgrade I have started to get crashes about 5 minutes after use with FSB200.

Iam using 2*512 corsair DDR433 memory.

But what is weirdest is that with only one memory chip installed the motherboard is stable with FSB200. I have tryed both memory chips and they both work the same.

Is this common that newer bios actually lowers the clockability performance of a board? I would use 1004 bios but with that my 200g HDD isnt working :/

its been a while since i had my rev 1.04 board. But i remember that the bios updates would either help you, or hurt your overclocks. There is a way to use your old bios and use the new sata bios. I would head over to nforcehq.com (i think) and look around. Thats what i did
