It is but you might need to update the BIOS.

Bios: 1504 is what you need.

Is updating bios dangerous?

CZPhoenix :

Potentially yes, it's best to go for usb flash. I'm thinking about doing it to my amd 990fx, although I'm quite unsure myself.

Sadly my HERO VI died a month after purchase , so I opted for the HERO VII.
