BIOS Updates
Crosshair III Formula 1602 beta version, use at your own risk. Will update when official version is released as this is only for Thuban CPU's and is currently unstable. Cool and quiet is locked on with some boards running non-thuban CPU's.
Crosshair-III-Formula-1503.zip Still have CPU/NB issues though. Also have had some RAID problems with it.
Crosshair-III-Formula-1403.zip Has been some issues with CPU/NB speeds but only on a few boards. I think the most solid and stable version out.
Crosshair-III-Formula-1301.zip Stable version.
