New Zotac 9300 ITX BIOS version 2K090602

Because you can undervolt and EIST drops it further still. For example my current quad is rated at 1.265v, but I can actually run it at 1.025v day and night. It runs much cooler and uses far less power.
 
Zotac are once again up to some weird tricks with the 9300 ITX bios. They have updated the pa105.zip file containing the newest bios at http://www.zotac.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=445&Itemid=577. Now it contains both the 2K090602 and 2K090422 versions, and they are stating that the 2K090602 is just for PCB version 3 or newer, while PCB version 0 and 1 owners should be using 2K090422, and that the "BIOS for different hardware PCB versions are NOT interchangeable".

Well, I am running 2K090602 without any problems on PCB version 1, and they did not announce any PCB-related incompatibilities when they introduced 2K090602. My concern is that they will stop supporting PCB 0 and 1 in new BIOS versions. If they do that, I will never again touch anything labelled Zotac with a barge pole, and hope that most current 9300 ITX owners will do the same.
