Check the motherboard manufacturer's site. Gigabyte, for example, provides a list for each board indicating a) which CPUs will work with that particular board, and b) which BIOS version was the first to provide support for it. The other manufacturers should provide similar information.

as long as is a fm1 socket is a direct plug .. i backed up system just in case.. all i had to do was update graphics drivers after.. went from 12-16fps to 45fps..graphics are crisp and clear
