Will I need to do a bios update?

DelightfulDestruction · Apr 8, 2016

I wanna buy an Msi Gaming 970 motherboard and a amd Fx 8350 cpu, but once I put it in pcpartpicker, at the bottom it says the mobo may need a bios update. Is this true or does this mobo work with the cpu out of the box?

FX 8350 CPU is from 2012. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6396/the-vishera-review-amd-fx8350-fx8320-fx6300-and-fx4300-tested
There no way that a current mobo won't work with it.

The CPU support list from the original BIOS release for that board includes the 8350, so you can reasonably assume you do not need an update for that particular combination.

If it is a new motherboard you should be fine. If it is a older board you have had a while it wouldn't hurt to check to see if it needs an update anyhow. Either way it wouldn't hurt to see if the bios needs updated for stability sake.
