Well, almost happy... I checked my RMA status online, and it shows the re-stocking charge (which I am going to ask if they can waive), and it also shows two charges for a combo discount and some other instant discount I got when I bought the original 965. I've emailed my customer service rep back to see if she can waive those charges too, as I still have the motherboard and RAM that I bought with the original processor and got the combo...

Life is good!!!! I'm also expecting delivery of my EVGA GTX 285 RMA replacement on Thursday. I'm hoping to break P16000 Vantage score with the new 965 & GTX 285.

Not knowing what motherboard you have but, usually can update straight to the latest version. Important! Make sure the motherboard revision is the correct one for the BIOS version you are going to update. Failing this, may kill the board. This info is usually in the release notes of the BIOS.

Hi, Yes I took the the # and entered it in their search and came up to the right list. That part was easy. I did some reading on the flash update that was suggested and research the instructions that was mentioned and cautioned. When I understood the method I doubled checked that I had entered the #.

Yeah, it should be ok. Does your current bios support the 965 125W? As far as the MSI MB is concerned you could always watch NewEgg for that MB to show up as an open box item. MB's as open box at NewEgg (if I remember correctly) are around $50 below their normal listed price. I have bought at least two MB's that way and both looked to be new unopened items. Maybe I'm just lucky. Good luck with the new processor.

Asus has the new bios listed for my mb. But it is not posted yet. I am sure it will be any day. I have saw several Msi open box one's over the past couple weeks. That was another reason I was not in a hurry to get one. I am gonna hold off yet on a mb.

i messed up,after building my system about 6 yrs ago with a8n sli and the 6800gt 1gig ram and 64x proccesor i feel im going back in time lol like having a zx spectrum,do you think i should send the new motherboard back and get refunded and get an nforce 4 board?
