Hello, I'm wondering if motherboards for Vishera CPUs still have problems where BIOS needs to be updated beforehand or it won't recognize the CPU.

I realize this problem is old and I personally built a computer with and FX 6300 and ASUS M5A97 R2.0 with no boot problems.

I'm building another PC soon.
This one has an FX 8370 and uses an ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0. So I just wanted to know if it's a possibility to encounter any problems? EDIT: I looked into it and it seems this motherboard isn't even 970? Still it'd be nice to know if this problem is still a possibility...
I'll be checking the BIOS on the board beforehand.
In the end, I just want to make sure I have no problems and have a smooth build

Thanks for reading.

even if it's an older bios version you can upgrade it without the cpu plugged in.

supports the cpu since bios 2501 2014/05/14 (should be on a sticker on the motherboard box)
