    Asus P5K Deluxe Bios?

    Hi people, bored of searching the forums and want a straight answer, which is the current best Asus P5K Deluxe bios atm?

    I upgraded to the 0311 version just to get the CPU working properly. I will be overclocking big time on this so wondering if any bios' are better than others for overclocking or is the latest the best?

    thanks in advance!

    so far from what i've read in other post 404 seems like the better choice, especially for the quads.
    thats what i've been using and seems to work just fine.

    I haven't tried 0404 or 0311, but I'm running 0501 beta
    and it's been OK so far except for having a bug where it
    can lock up on boot due to certain USB devices (mice)
    plugged in to certain USB hubs during POST.

    I'd guess if you used all manual parameters for your
    CPU and RAM timings and voltages and set the chipset
    strap timings manually with the utility program
    you'd get the same O/C results with any of these BIOS
    versions.

    imo its ether the 0404 or the 0501 both seem to be very good.
