Bios update?

[Myki_Inspector]

Hello,

 

I recently bought a i3 9100F and a H310CM-HDV and I went to pcpartpicker to see what PSU my system needed and I got a warning saying that the H310s might need a bios update and i may need a different cpu that is supported by old bios revisions. 
 

 

I do not know what this means and I am worried that buying the 9100F was a wrong decision.

H310 boards didnt originally ship with a bios that supports 9th gen CPUs.

 

To support them you need a board made after they released 9th gen. Your H310 may or may not have the correct Bios.

 

Also, can we find you a PSU? That way you dont end up with something terrible.

It will require at least 4.10 (which is one of the latest versions). Now many sellers do not update the BIOS so it might still be on 1.10-1.30

Donwload the file to an USB stick (fat32) and use the bios flash utility of the motherboard itself.

 

In my experience the newer CPU will boot into the BIOS and will only start to crash/act werid if you go into windows or when installing it.

Did this on a few Asrock MB's with a new i7 9700 (after windows setup kept crashing)

 

All of them worked fine after i did the BIOS update.

Alright thank you,

 

My bios version on my H310 says its p4.20 so I should be all good now!
