    Did anyone tried this new bios, is it better than F08, how is the fan control handled? Anyone?
    I am using it for just one day and I think, or maybe I am wrong but the fan control is better now.

    I'm using it on my 9500t, seems to work well so far. I have definitely noticed the area to the left of the touchpad is signifigantly cooler to the touch with the new bios.

    Is the BIOS button F1. When I hit it, it goes into something that looks just like the BIOS, but you can't do anything.
