Well like the title says.
I decided to update my BIOS to the new 1303 to have support for the new 1333 cpus.
Sadly I noticed fast that my computer wouldn't boot anymore.
So I reset the CMOS turn off my PC start again.
After hours of trying to get my PC to boot with my old settings of 3.7Ghz on the procie and 1131 on the ram I decided to flash back to older BIOSes.
I tried a bunch of them all the way to 0505 until I got tired of losing my time and reinstalling the old 0302 (initial release it says) but I'm sure i used to have a 0101 BIOS but whatever.
So now i'm writing this at 3.7GHz and 1131 on the ram with the older 0302 BIOS.
This is ridiculous though.
All i could get stable with the new revisions was 1550 QDR which was about 3.4GHz and as far as the ram goes I couldn't even boot it up at 1066, I had to leave it at 800...
Now i'm glad Asus had the initial release BIOS on their website...I could have found it on the net but this was easier.
This is once again a case of "If it works don't fix it"
I'll update the BIOS when I get a new proci...for now I won't touch anything.

One reason why I go by this: if it ain't broke, why fix it.

I have noticed a bug with the 0302 with the onboard LEDs not lighting even with the settings to always on in the BIOS.
I installed the 0505 just now and changed the SLI memory setting to Expert instead of disabled and it seems to boot fine.
I tried the same with the 1303 but to no avail.
So i'll stick with the 0505 for now.

I've flashed my Commando to the new 1404 Bios to support the new 1333FSB.No problem so far.Schwarz, i hope everything will be fine for your Striker.

Everything is fine now !
Yah but I could still OC with the striker I just couldn't OC as HIGH with the new BIOS.
I mean I could still take my 1.8 to 3.4 but with the older bioses i could manage 3.7.
