[Micro-ATX] A8-3850 (4x2.9Ghz) + HD6550D

hi v8extra, create a new thread please,
all new builds like yours should have their very own thread.
easier to follow/help. thx

Ok here is the new thread : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=130604

Mine finally arrived today, only problem was they ended up being out of stock of the ASRock A75 Pro4-M Motherboard, so I got to the Gigabyte A75M-UD2H Motherboard. Do you think this would be comparable/work.

I really trust your judgement, so I thought I'd better doublecheck

well, i have a gigabyte motherboard and it works great.

you should be fine...

however, you may not have all the USB features asrock motherboards have..
same for CPU FAN speed controls..

I was under the impression that the motherboard or the cpu, came with a cpu cooler?
Do I need to buy one separately? Would you recommend a particular one?

Edit:
Disregard that it does :/

Yes the CPU comes with it's own stock cooler.... yes you can use the stock one.

fwiw, I tried getting away with the stock cooler and gave up after a week. It did fine keeping everything cool but it was loud. I didn't want to spend 50 on the big shuriken cooler but after installing it I can definitely say it was worth it.

Did you select "Cool N Quiet" option and lower CPU and case fans to level 2 in bios when you used stock CPU cooler?

When the Cooler is noisy, its time to change...
try to tweak your CPU fan speed on a gigabyte motherboard like i have lol
its simply impossible and its annoying...
