Yes, there are more updated BIOSes, have you tried the Asus site? I used to use the ftp, but it seems to be password protected now.

I've got one of these boards and updated it to the 0612 bios.

This worked much better on my Q9450. It also sorted out a speed issue with sata that I was experiencing.

Here's a link to the asus downloads for this board.

Be sure to read the comments in the Asus forum for your board before flashing. Asus writes absolutely awful bioses and are always breaking something or doing something that degrades performance. Personally, I'm convinced that Asus wantonly and knowingly degrades the performance of their older and/or cheaper boards so their more expensive boards review better. I refuse to buy this company's garbage anymore.
