Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

No, you don't.

it happened to a friend of mine he just gave up and went to a 9 series chipset

With default settings? What were the voltages at?

Might need a BIOS update, check with the motherboard's website for compatibility. 

There's no need for a bios update for compatibility--just for oc'ing.

Where'd you get that info? I've never heard of that being an issue before.
