Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.

I got this message when i checked to see if the m5a97 r2.0 was compatible with the fx8320
what should i do? im new to pcs and im trying to game

Unless you ALREADY have an FX 8320, don't. They are old CPUs that are outperformed by much lower specification new CPUs.

But, the FX 8320 has been around for so long, that any motherboard sold today would have the correct BIOS.
