you can just flash it to version 14.

The way bios flashes work is it totally rewrites the whole bios, plus the updates which were within version 13 are already within version 14

AMD Athlon64 3200+
Gigabyte GA-K8N SLI
1GB Crucial DDR400
LianLi PC70 /545w Enemax SLI
XFX 6600GT SLI /42" Plasma
SB Audigy 2 ZS PlatinumPro
2x 7K250 IBM 120GB HDD
Pioneer Slot-Feed DVD

Make sure you read the instructions. For some, I have seen that you must update to the interim version first (some Asus I have seen this)

even more before it writes the chip it totally erases it ... thats why BIOS update can be a problem ... an empty chip is not that good Wink

but I can't understand that all are warning before BIOS updates ..
OK first look if u really need it ... (changelog)
but then ..... if u just follow the steps as it should be only the loss of power can be dangerous
