    Have anyone updated M6Ne bios yet?
    1st I tried to install Asus Probe 2 but it says that I have to update bios.
    I found new bios for M6N (not Ne) and winflash refuses to flash it cuz different models.
    I didnt found new versions of Bios for M6Ne (0203Ae is on my system).
    Any suggestions[?]

    0203A is the latest M6Ne BIOS. You have the wrong version of Asus Probe.
    The right version is at http://www.asus.com.tw/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=M6Ne&Type=Utilities

    towards the bottom of the page.

    It sounds pretty high to me. 75C is the highest I usually see under very heavy load. Most DDR memory can only tolerate 70C; if you run this hot for very long the memory in the SODIMM slot next to the CPU may die. I had one of my memory modules die like that already after running a 15 hour game session - 100% CPU load the entire time.
