Default Bios Upgrade for A7N8X-E Deluxe?
Hey guys I was just wondering...I have this mobo I just got off newegg and its running wonderfully. I have Bios Rev 1012... the newest on their site is 1013. I was wondering if I should update the bios or not. Im kind of scared because Ive never flashed a bios before and Ive heard bad stories about it. Thanks

flashing is easy, only risky if you dont do as ppl say look for a modded bios there are some out there, they are way better than the stock bioses too.

yes. modded bioses for your board give yummy options like extra vcore and RAM voltage options.

While I agree modded bios's are nice, I think you should be ok for now sticking with the 1012 bios.

Run the beast, if you notice any particular stability issues/recognition issues, etc...then update using ASUS liveupdate (its easy)

yeah i looked at the asus update program and it looks cool other than the fact that only 1 site out of the 3 has the update and when you connect to it, its in a different language besides i can read 1013 on it. and a guy from asus told me not to use it too
