Hello, again. xD

To be honest, there's a big chance it will not work. If you never upgraded your BIOS, then you're probably not at the needed F8d version for Godavari... You're probably still at F1.

You can always buy a cheap 20$ Trinity APU/CPU, update your BIOS to F8D, then install your new processor though? You can find old Trinity's pretty much everywhere for less than 30$.

Yes, it will work with your motherboard immediately. It's compatible with every revision and bios version. Once it's working, you will then have to update your BIOS to the latest version, and your new a10-7890k APU will work correctly.
