Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[Goonit]

G'day Ket!
I just wanted to thank you for your bios (p5q-d 1406m.rom) the one that uses the latest M2F memory table.

I was about to sell my P5Q Deluxe, because it wouldn't work with the new patriot 1200mhz 5-5-5-12 ram I bought a while ago, wouldn't even post/boot/turn on with these new sticks in it. I really like this board, but it seems ASUS aren't exactly supportive of there products.

I updated to the latest ASUS BIOS (1702) first. I've been hearing a lot of bad reports about it, but I thought maybe it'd work out good for me. Err wrong! Was a total mess, wouldn't even boot with relaxed overclocked settings.

I did know about your BIOS's, but like most sane people BIOS's are pretty scary things you _DONT_ want to completely break! Though I knew I could swap the BIOS chips on the board, if I completely screwed it up.

So late last night I went ahead and flashed it with said BIOS, reset bios and removed battery for a minute, and bingo the damn thing thing booted up, So I went to the BIOS set memory to 1200mhz (4-4-4-12 (didn't actually look at the timings, at first I was just stocked the thing didn't crash and burn.)) and it booted up stable as a rock. All I can say it OMFG! I am in love with this board once again, and have taken my Ebay listing down now! Which was going so well too :P

I'd like to donate some money to thank you for your work, if you have a paypal.. This post was just going to be a small thank you haha!

By the way I just used an older version of the Asus windows BIOS updater (6.07.01) to reverse the 1702 mess, went straight from 1702 to your BIOS all within windows 7. What can I say.. :P

Also stumbled upon this where ASUS keeps all versions of there Utilities & Tools was helpful for m,e so probably would be helpful for someone else as well!
