Dec 3, 2008 - ThanksIt seems as if the e8400 processor is very popular judging from what I've been reading and it's also a good overclocker. I did try overclocking it to 3.6 and it did well but ran hot (note that I have the stock, retail-box heatsink). Got my processor on sale for $155 at a store called MicroCenter. I could use a better video card as well; I picked up the $50 Sapphire Radeon HD-3450 since I was on a budget and just wanted to get it going

Dec 3, 2008 - Hey nice vid. Quick question, im thinking to get the same motherboard and the procesor, did you had to upgrade BIOS??? Thanks :)

yuandrew Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - Yeah.If it comes with BIOS 1.3; do yourself a favor first and put 1.4 or above on it. When I first hooked this up, I had a some issues with it crashing and Blue Screen of Death on me until I updated the BIOS. It's been running for about a month now with no problems since then.Check the reviews on NewEgg; they also mention to update the BIOS if it comes with 1.3
