Great, thanks ASUS for releasing such rubbish ... In the meanwhile I rolled back to Bios 202 and the issue is gone.

Portugieser, maybe you could get away with updating somewhere between 202 and 205. There are useful improvements for temperature reading and monitoring in 203/204 as well.
Watch you temps 🙂

Thanks mate, I will, but so far it looks just fine. Also, my problem with 203 and 204 is this:

is that missing 100mhz has anything that decreases FPS in games?

fabrimacator21, it's funny, some that increase the multipliers with XTU complain it isn't enough of a boost, and those that are missing a small sliver of that improvement worry that they are missing out on a big improvement 🙂
The overall change, for example, of my 4700HQ from a Turbo boost of 3.2ghz to 3.4ghz is about 6% by the numbers, others have benchmarked some CPU rendering at over 10% improvement - so it can vary according to the usage. A drop of that 100mhz is about 25% reduction in the boost at 4 cores 100%, so that is significant. But, if you are talking about 1/2 core improvement it will be less of a percentage of loss. But, remember, that is only 25% of a 6% overall boost, maybe 10%, for a total of 2% or 2.5%, a tiny decrease.
If I had a choice between temperature and other BIOS fixes and losing .1ghz, I would pick the BIOS update.

Well, after hours of playing, the CPU and GPU temps are around 60-70 ... I see no issues here. Any specific thing to watch at temps?
