Yep its a good bios I have had no problems what so ever and it gives me a small increase in performance too

cpumark using be6_pv = 88.6

cpumark using be6_qp = 89.9

I have also tweaked my G400 a bit more with some xtra cooling,here's what I got :-

I think the Tennmax Lasagne chip cooler is top notch

I had it on my Bx chipset before but I decided to switch it to my G400 Max to see how well it would perform.I just modified the matrox heasink and fan to fit the Bx chip and that seems to be working great,IMHO the Bx chipset does not need too much cooling anyway :P

So I now have my G400 Max running at [222.8 Mhz] Memory clock instead of [216 Mhz] and the Graphics clock is now running at [167.1 Mhz]formally at [162 Mhz] with no graphical artifacts
