Hey everybody.
I've been searching around for a new CPU, since my current one is beginning to show its age. I'm on a bit of a budget, so I was looking at the AMD FX-6300 (This one).
My problem is, after a while searching, I'm not sure if it's compatible with my mainboard! I'm running with the MSI 870A-G46 (Here), which has an AM3 slot, while the FX-6300 up there has an AM3+ slot.
Anyway, my question is this: will that CPU work with my motherboard? I'd read something about a BIOS update being released, but I just managed to confuse myself. Any clarification would be amazing.
Thank you!
