Hey i just bought the vishera 8 core and was wondering which BIOS update i should do..

Biostar 990fxe is the mb... i'm assuming I have to do the first one considering it says support vishera cpu, just double checking cause i've never update BIOS before. And as far as the updating goes, load it to usb and restart computer from the usb and update it like that?

99FAD905.BST Update AGESA code to support Vishera CPU 2048 KB 2012-09-05

99FAD308.BST Improve memory compatibility, update PXE ROM 2048 KB 2012-03-08

99FADB24.BST Support Nvidia SLI function 2048 KB 2011-11-24

99FAD907.BST Initial BIOS 2048 KB 2011-09-07



PS other users said the vishera 8350 was compatible right out of the box without a bios update.. so wondering if i even need the update
