I ordered GA-EP45-DS3R Mobo should be coming in tommorrow
Infact I bought a bunch of stuff.. sigh ok ill just go over everything I bought. For my new build.
But really I have a few questions since I am a begginner. I know all reviews say this MOBO needs the bios flashed.. If i go to gigabytes website and download the f9bios.exe file and run it.. is that considered flashing it? Or do I need to do something else to flash the bios to a newer version?
thats really all i needed to know is about the bios.. and maybe what you think of my build I have coming in tommorrow? Btw it will be going into a antec 900 case.
Also is there anything else I will need to do? Please I mean ANYTHING. Never done this before. Im hoping all i have to do is plug everything in load up windows and be set. What else will i need to do?
Heres my build thats coming in tommorrow.
