Hi
Does anyone know if the new 1102A bios is worth upgrading too?

I like the way my machine is cooler with the older 801 bios, but I have problem coming back after sandby. This was solved in 1002, but the heat coming from the wrist rest area was just to much.

Has anyone tried this new version and if so, are you happy with it? What are the temps? My current temps are between 40 deg C and 75 C when gaming

Thanks

If you're happy with your current BIOS (except for the standby part), then you shouldn't upgrade. I mean, if it isn't broke, don't fix it!
However, you do seem like the type to want to try and experiment ... go for it. You claim the Standby issue was resolved in the previous BIOS release, so maybe this new BIOS will again resolve the heat issue that came up with the previous release.
I, too, used to count on others' experiences first... but sometimes, it's nice to be the guinea pig and share your experience
