HI there,
I'm just about to buy an Asus P5E (or Maximus Extreme) and an E8400 for my first full build.
I need to update the BIOS to support this chip, will it be a problem doing that on the first boot? i.e. build pc, get new bios on usb Pen and use the ASUS EZflash thingy on the first start?
I don't have any spare chips etc to update the BIOS first, so the other alternative is to buy a cheap Socket775 Celeron as well, but i don't really want to have to do this unless necessary.
Are there any possible problems with flashing the mobo on first start?
thanks
