Need help on compatibility for Vishera

[bryce360]

Hey guys i just sent my friend a build with this mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157280 with this CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286 and wanted to make sure that they were compatible right out of the box, the problem is he already ordered it so if they are not compatible what can i do, i dont have another amd CPU i can use to update the bios with so im out of luck on that. Please help this is the first time i have built a computer for anyone else and i dont want to F*** this up and possibly sour a friendship!

cross your fingers. Did you read the one egg and two egg reviews on that motherboard before you recommended it? Maybe you will be lucky.More than a few felt they had chosen ..... UnWisely ...

Darn, well hopefully it will work, they were only talking about the 8 core models though

they are talking about the build quality of the motherboard,irregardless of processor used.

I meant when they brought up the compatibility issues, but thanks for the replies!

its not as bad as you may think and the mobo and processor are compatible out of the box. here's that mobo's cpu support list:
