I've been reading all over the Net about various motherboards & cpu's as I'm going to upgrade my rather old pc of approx 7 yrs old. I've decided on the AMD A10 6800K cpu and eventually narrowed down the choice of motherboard to Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H.
I've read some reviews on some motherboard's where users have had a problem needing to update the bios before being able to their chosen CPU leaving them with the catch 22 situation of being unable to update the bios because they need the same/similar type of motherboard/cpu to do the update., obviously a problem if your using something completely different before the upgrade.
Will the above Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H need the bios flashed/updated before being able to use the AMD A10 6800K cpu or can I just drop the cpu in and fire up the computer? after all other connections are done of course.
