BIOS & Driver Download (http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/biosdriver.php?categories=1&model=5)
Problems, Hints & Tips:
Winbond CH5 based Memory has problems running async at speeds greater than 270 mhz. Bios versions 1.6 and up seem to help with this problem.
The board reads temperatures too high (up to +20°C!)
Many memory problems have been fixed with BIOS v1.1 - An upgrade is recommended to everybody.
Changing the AGP Voltage setting in your bios also changes the Northbridge voltage which may improve your overclock.
There is a new version (still rev. 1.0) of the board out with an improved Northbridge fan and heatsink.
A revision 1.1 has been released. It is unknown if there were any changes beyond the new Northbridge Fan.
