    That's a neat little diag app - I hadn't tried that one yet.

    About the fan firmware I dunno. Maybe it`ll show in BIOS, I`ll double check.
    As for the BIOS, it shows after you start the computer.
    Vbios - everest I think and GPU - Z ...

    GPU-Z works as well for VBIOS. Also lets you dump it
