Ive been eyeing to upgrade my cpu for a while now and i have chosen the CPU i want to buy which is the Athlon x4 760k but the problem is i don't know if my Motherboard supports it (its an FM2 not the FM2+ one) because i worry that the BIOS wouldn't support it. my question is can i just buy the CPU and plug it in and would it work fine since they are the same socket anyways? or is there any other way to make the Motherboard accept it?

here are my specs
A6-6400K
8GB Drr3 ram i think its an 1600mhz one but im not sure because CPU-Z says its only 1499.7 mhz
750gb 7200 rpm hdd
 
Solution
Most FM2 boards will support FM2+ CPUs with a BIOS update.

I'd say give it a try, and return the CPU if it doesn't work.
