Why did you flash them to the asus bios? Is it to use asus smart doctor? If so, you can still use asus smart doc with any bios as long as you use a 5870 made by sapphire/asus/msi and his i think.

Interesting. I did not know that. I am just going to get a ASUS version anyway to save me the trouble.

Sorry didn't want to make another thread, but my Idle temps on my new 5870 are 50-55c...I have the Antec 1200 so ventilation isn't a problem, is that normal?...And i'm guessing video cards can run hotter than processors as if my i7 was running 50-55c stock there would deff. be something wrong there...
