Calvin7, you are right, the fx6300 may or may not work because the FDD came out 10/17/2011, but the fx6300 introduction date was like on 2012. And Joe, you are better either to get the cpu is on the support...

Go to the gigabyte website, make sure you have the right version MB ( rev.3.1, rev.1.4, etc), then downlaod the BIOS and unzip the BIOS to the USB drive, also download and install the utility called @BIOS, then following the on screen instruction, update the BIOS. Here is the info. http://www.gigabyte.com/webpage/20/HowToReflashBIOS.html

And I recommend use the #2 @BIOS, A Windows-based BIOS live update utility. If you can use the "UEFI", insert the USB with the BIOS you downlaod, then click the " update BIOS from file" (note don't use the "update BIOS from gigabyte server") , redirect the link to your USB drive, then update the BIOS.

The revision number is printed on the lower left corner of the motherboard. Only revision 3.1 supports AM3+ CPUs. No other revision supports AM3+ CPUs. If you have revision 3.1 you can use the following AM3+ CPUs with BIOS revision FDD.
FX-8140 3200MHz Bulldozer 95W
FX-8120 3100MHz Bulldozer 95W
FX-8100 2800MHz Bulldozer 95W
FX-6200 3800MHz Bulldozer 125W
FX-6120 3500MHz Bulldozer 95W
FX-6100 3300MHz Bulldozer 95W
FX-4170 4200MHz Bulldozer 125W
FX-4150 3900MHz Bulldozer 95W
FX-4100 3600MHz Bulldozer 95W

And Joe, you are better either to get the cpu is on the support list or you can contact gigabyte. And your MB has 8+2 phase CPU VRM power design that can handle more high-TDP CPU.
