    I know it's possible to download the two latest versions v211 and v210

    http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?modelname=W3J&SLanguage=en-us

    I'd like to downgrade my BIOS to v207 or v206. These old BIOS versions don't hide fan settings apparently, but unfortunately ASUS doesn't provide download links for them.

    Anyone have either of these or know where to download them?

    Thanks much

    Try this:
    ftp://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/W3J/

    I see versions:
    206, 207, 210, 211

    The FTP servers always have more goodies than what is linked from the support website ;)

    If dlsvr01 doesn't work in your area, try dlsvr02, 03, 04, 05.

    Can't upload, files are too large... and I'm too lazy to log into mediafire :) If you PM me your email address I will send the files to you as email attachments.
