Hi,
Will the AsRock 990FX Extreme3 Motherboard work with fx 8350 out of box, or would i not be able to use it because I need to update BIOS? Thanks

its best to go to the asrock website and confirm that ..however am pretty sure you dont need a bios update for that cpu.. you should still confirm though

It needs the latest Bios - P1.50 - but new boards often have the lastest BIOS. enquire with the store as to which BIOS it has and if they would update it for you if needed. Amazon and Newegg have such high turnover that boards often ship with the latest BIOS only

oh need i remind you that updating the bios is extremely dangerous and if the electricity was to go off during update the board could be as good as dead.. i dont recommend updating until you confirm that it needs a update for the cpu.. as i said i am sure it doesnt need an update ,as the other member said the board generally come with the latest bios ..heed my warning

If you do kill a BRAND NEW board on a BIOS update though, simply RMA it, they have no way to check... ;)

Thanks everyone. I asked the retailer, and it came with the latest BIOS.
Thanks again :)
