You can usually look at the manufacturer's website and determine which BIOS version is required for a specific CPU by looking at the CPU compatibility page -- http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970M%20Pro3/?cat=CPU That chart says BIOS ALL is required to support the 6300 (look for 6300 in the part number -- FD6300WMW6KHK) -- That means that that board was shipped with support for the CPU since day 1.
