AMD FX 8300 Chipset BIOS Update? Help!

Kobe1332 · Mar 6, 2017

Hi.
I am building with pcpartpicker and got a warning while building stating 'Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs.' My build is here: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/KikiAnime/saved/F2KNGX
I need to know what I will have to do when the parts are ordered and i am ready for 1st boot.
Please help!

That board doesn't need a BIOS update for the 8300 it's compatible out of the box.

Yea all 9XX Are compatible with ALL the FX CPU's (Some might not work with the FX 9XXX Though due do its massive power requirements) otherwise there are no issues. It is the AM3 Series or the 700/800 series chipset that may or may not work with some of the FX CPU's and require a BIOS upgrade first.

That warning may have been applicable in 2012 when Vishera CPUs first came out.

Thanks for that.
What do you think of the AMD FX 8300? Is it a good processor for gaming when mixed with a GTX 960 2gb?

It will be fine with a 960 , but FX is now EOL , Ryzen or Intel would be a better path.

Is it the same with the PRO CARBON version of the motherboard?

Yes compatible out of the box.
