T-Mobile Home Internet: Revisiting 5G connectivity for the home after two years

Multi-million dollar Cheyenne supercomputer auction ends with $480,085 bid — buyer walked away with 8,064 Intel Xeon Broadwell CPUs, 313TB DDR4-2400 ECC RAM, and some water leaks
Is it really required to update Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3's BIOS in order to use an FX6300 CPU on this MOBO?

Most new MB's will get flashed at the factory to a later BIOS. The best thing to do is to look on the site and find out what BIOS version they added support for the FX6300 in, then either go t the store and physically buy the MB and examine it for the BIOS revision sticker on it to see if it's equal to or higher than that one needed to support the chip, or if ordering online, request that you need one with BIOS xxx.xxx or higher.
Some high end MB's can flash the BIOS without a CPU direct from USB but there is a rare function and most would need a compatbile CPU to boot up and flash.

well no matter what revision it is the cpu will work but wont run correctly or most likely be incorrect speeds and no turbo etc. you would be able to atleast do a bios upgrade but most will already have a decently new bios on it.
