Weird you cannot downgrade ?
Hmmm glad I got a cheap X35 chipset (Asus P5K EPU) I have the option to downgrade the BIOS.

You cant downgrade even from a bootable disk ?

I didn't have any problem flashing back to 1303 from 1305... This problem has been reported by others, but it is certainly not normal.

BTW, I agree with you: 1305 is a major POS

testing is complete

first the issue is with old quads not 45nm

second tuning is key

finally the mobo does benfit from new thermal compound on the heat pipe cooling
