Is the ASRock 970 extreme4 compatible with amd fx 8320? (quick reply)

eamon butler · Feb 20, 2014

ok so on ebay there is this ASRock 970 extreme4 motherboard for sale cheap and it ends soon. on pcpartpicker they are said to be compatible but it says i may need to update the BIOs. so will it work with the fx 8320 if i do?

yes, though with most 970 boards, if pcpartpicker's constant warning is anything to go by, you risk getting one with an out of date BIOS that's incompatible with the 8320.

try asking your retailer before you buy.

there should be a sticker on the motherboard telling you what version the BIOS is; http://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=FindBIOS

thankyou both of you. i have one last question, would this motherboard work 100% if the bios are up to date? or would it be better to get an ASRock 970 Extreme3 Motherboard R2.0?
