    I've installed a new version of bio from Asus website for my z70va and the computer seems to get a lot warmer (from around 60 to around 70-80). I would like to know if there's a way to replace new bio with older version since winflash wouldn't let me.

    Also, i would like to know if there's a place where i can find instruction on how to access the GPU fan on the unit.

    Thanks

    Do Winflash /nodate from command prompt

    That's possible? If so, that's a really simple way to do it... the way I used to do it was, I'd create a bootable CD with Aflash and an older BIOS image. I'd flash and then restart... much more intricate than "Winflash /nodate"

    Yes, Zydus did it on his A8Jm..... definitely more simple than the way you were doing it :)
