UPDATE: I did update the bios of this mainboard to the latest 2006 one that said supporting Prescott but since v1.2 rev. At first I didn't notice that in the official Biostar image sample page, there's probably the newer revision cause mine board lacks two regulators (while there's the empty metal pad for eventually soldering them) close to the cpu. That's probably why in the manual itself it's written than only since v1.2 and above it support Prescott core.
Now, the board works ok (beside some input/output error installing linux on an IDE disk...) with a P4 2.8 Northwood but I noticed that the voltage regulators get really really hot when under stress, almost can't touch the surface more than one second.
Should I try put some heatsinks on them considering I'll put certainly the 3,2ghz Northwood and maybe try some 3.0 or 3.2 Prescott? As said the regulators are this model: four PHB55N03LTA in the SOT404 (D2-PAK) package that seems like capable of 55A of power.
Thank
