Hey everyone, I had to call asus because the stock amd heatsink retension clips werent fitting, and while I was talking to the tech (who didnt help with the heatsink at all), I was told that I would need to buy a new bios chip to use my fx8320.

I'm just wondering if it would be easier to return this and get a new mobo? If so, what would be a good replacement?

Last question, I've built 2 amd systems and never had an issue with these retension clips not fitting, is it a problem with this particular mobo, or should I get an aftermarket heatsink?
