hey guys , when i looked at my build this morning It said "Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs." and i already bought the mobo and i'm so scared it might not work with my build. My parents are only giving me one shot at this and if i mess it up im screwed D:

Ssddx put a link. I usually just put it on a flash drive and boot it through that. Just make sure there is no possibility of a power interruption during the update. Then remove the flash drive before rebooting.

So i guess i need to buy a flash drive :/ Is there a possibility that i don't need to update the BIOS? I really want to build it and use it today. I just bought the mobo like 3 days ago
