Mobo chipset probs

[thefunnymuffingamer]

The mobo i picked out for my build needs a bios update before my  can run my cpu on it. so does that mean i need to get one that is native to the first bios and then put in the 8320 ? or can i update the bios with it ? this is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3BuBg

It should allow you to update bios with that cpu. But it also could freak out on you.

ok i do have a 2 core Athlon if all all fails

I am 99% sure that you need to update the bios first, I had this problem once with a 775 socket mobo, the computer would not post without the new bios, so I wasn`t able to get into the bios to update it.

ok Thanks
