Yea I do not see why it would not either. I'm just a bit gun shy this is the first time that I've built one. I'll post back when it all comes in.

Hi newcomer and welcome to the Tom's hardware forum.

@ OP and sirheck

As advice:

That the processor have the same socket doesn't mean that works fine in the mobo. For know that you always need refer to the CPU support list of the mobo.

So, you can see here the CPU support list for your mobo. The E5400 is supported without problems.

Yea, it can support all 775 cpu,s.
