Abit just released a new BIOS version for their NF7-S boards (Revs 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2).
Check out the list of features:
Quote:
BIOS ID: 1.9 - BIOS Compile Date: 5/13/2003
- Please use AWDFLASH 8.23D or later to update NF7 series BIOS. With incorrect AWDFLASH version, the GUID will be erased, and leads to IEEE1394 peer to peer function failed.AWDFLASH 8.23K is included in this BIOS package.
- Fixed CPU temperature too high issue.
Raised highest CPU FSB up to 300 MHz for "user define mode" in SoftMenu.
- Fixed SATA RAID-0 data corruption issue by adding a new option "EXT-P2P's Discard Time" in "integrated Peripherals". The default setting is "30 us"; which is recommended by NVidia. In case the problem is still there, try "1 ms" please.

So there you go. I highly recommend that all of you with an Abit NF7-S board update your BIOSes so you can enjoy lower CPU temperatures.
Forget spending money and time on upgrading your cooling - all you need to do is update your BIOS.
