I was leaning towards Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H mobo but I can't find one without needing me to update it myself. Is there any store that will update it for me or have one done already?
I think you misunderstood. The gigabyte mobo is fm2+ which means it is compatible with fm2 cpu. However, If you look on pcpartpicker, it says that a88x chipset mobos might need a bios update. I am trying to find one without having to buy another cpu
FM2+ motherboard is compatible with FM2 CPU and FM2+ CPU.
Just update the BIOS when you install it. There will be no problem updating the BIOS.
The problem is that I have a kaveri core cpu and all fm2+ mobos need an update to use kaveri core proccesors. I was asking if anyone knew how to either buy a mobo that supports kaveri out of box or a store that will update it for me.
I don't want to buy a useless fm2 cpu just to update the mobo
lololol, what if I told you that I have a Kaveri CPU and FM2+ Mobo (MSI A88X G45 Gaming) and I did not have to buy a FM2 CPU just to update the Mobo.
Well I'm jealous.
but anyways I asked outletpc if the gigabyte mobo would be up to date and they said probably not. I am just looking for a quick solution.
