    I was wondering if anyone with X9000 CPU and the downclocking problem has tried the new x34 BIOS? I have an X9000 I've been thinking of putting in my m15x, but been nervous about it due to the reported problems with the downclocking.

    Thanks,
    N

    taco reports that there is no more downclocking with the new bios. the new bios undervolts the processor and makes the fans run longer and at max.
