MSI 760GMA-P34 (FX) compatibility with AMD FX 6300

eagles4585 · Jul 29, 2014

Hello. I was browsing motherboards and noticed that some mobos require a BIOS update to communicate with the FX chips. What I am looking for is a motherboard that supports AMD FX, like the FX 6300, out of the box, no BIOS update required. Does the MSI 760GMA-P34 (FX) at http://www.amazon.com/MSI-CrossFireX-Motherboard-760GMA-P34-FX/dp/B00EASJ2JI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1406687986&sr=8-3 work with the FX 6300 out of the box? Help would be appreciated.
