Smile Motherboard not correctly recognising CPU

Quick question folks.

A mate of mine has a QX9650 and an Asus Striker Extreme motherboard.

However, the motherboard does not seem to take full advantage of the sheer power of the CPU. Upon startup, it says the BIOS requires an update to take full advantage of the CPU. When I run the asus update utility, it says no update to the bios is available.

The CPU instead runs at 2.0GHz rather than the 3.0 it should run at.

No overclocking is required or desired.

As it stands, he doesnt seem to be the only person with this problem

Does anyone know how to fix the problem. Perhaps there is a source of unnofficial BIOS's that would work, or if Asus will update their own BIOS any time soon.

Thanks.
