Sorry about the post above, clicked on the wrong reply

Nope, am still on the 1013, am not doing any bios upgrades as there doesn't seem to be any major changes. Everything's stable, so leaving it that way

i have an A8N-sli deluxe, and still have the 1004 bios. Is it necessary to upgrade the bios?
and if i have to, incrementally, or right to the 1014?
not sure what to do

No need for an incremental update, just download the latest upgrade to the latest bios. Don't forget to download the latest chipset drivers as per the warnings on the BIOS download page.

What chipset driver are you using?? I Tried 1013 bios with 6.66 drivers from nvidia site. but i Can't boot so i am using bios 1011.

 

[daggermeerkat]

Am currently running 6.65 chipset drivers downloaded from the ASUS downloads site.

 

[djayawar]

so drivers from asus run fine with 1013. then there is something wrong with the drivers from nvidia wich is 6.66. what do u think

I believe Asus took the nVidia 6.66 drivers and modified them for the A8N-SLI series, releasing them as 6.65...the 6.65 drivers actually have a later release date than the nVidia 6.66's.

ok i'll give it a try cheers

i have the 6.66 (hate that #) chipset drivers from nvidia's site, just did the ez flash (hit alt f2) and d/l he 1014. [first time i ever flashed bios] did it because i went from a ga-k8nxp and far cry played flawlessly, to the asus a8n deluxe (have to rma the gigabyte the ps/2 isn't working) and far cry is lagging terribly. the 1014 bios upgrade did nothing for that.
but the system seems stable...for now

Yep, same thoughts here, because looking at Nvidia's release history, I don't see any 6.65 version, so ASUS has definately modified them as Chuck mentioned.
