Alright, so I don't know the exact logistics of it, but my most tech-savvy friend is telling me that there may be an issue with my MOBO BIOS and my CPU. We wanted to check this all out for ourselves, but Newegg doesn't list the BIOS version that the MOBO ships with (as far as we can tell). I need your help ensuring that my CPU and MOBO won't have any BIOS related troubles. Bonus points for anyone who can teach me about what's going on here. Basically, I'm asking "Will this MOBO work with this CPU out of the box?"

Solution
You should have no problems. Asus web site says that the MB supports 8 core CPU's at up to 140watts.

The 8320 is only 125watts, no problems!
