    Was jus checking the Asus C90s downloads section for a way to control fan speed, when i realised they released an update for the Bios about a month back. Anyone tried it out? The changelog says "increased CPU compatibility"

    1002 has been up for a while, if you search you can find Ken's bootable CD img. No major changes from the last BIOS.

    No idea what the "increased CPU compatibility" are?

    It will not "incorporate" the BIOS 902 (the BIOS is just a simple 512KB binary file), but, any fixes or upgrades that were implemented on 902 will likely be retained in the 1002 BIOS, as well.
