I'm wondering if this would work. I also am wondering if I would need to update the bios, and if so, how?

Your motherboard will work with this cpu even without a bios update, since it doesn't matter how many cores you have on the cpu. It should work out of the box.

Though it is strongly recommended that update your bios and install latest drivers But Not Compulsory.

Alright, one more question. Would I need to update my bios if I am going to use an eight core cpu? Or can I just build it like you would using a quad core?
