Hello,

I have a Gigabyte 970a-ds3 motherboard and AMD FX-4130, but I am looking at getting an AMD FX 8350. Here is most of my build. I know the chip sets are compatible, but I get the warning "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." 

This site says that the FX-8350 is compatible with my motherboard, but it does not list the BIOS needed for my specific revision (rev 3.0). My current BIOS version is FD. Will I need to update to FEg? Or is it even actually compatible?

You'll need FEg. Keep in mind that it's a beta BIOS though, so not everything may work.

Yes, GIGABYTE is stupid enough to make a BIOS with a new AGESA code not get out of Beta. Quite an amazing feat
