You'll need to check with the seller to see if the board is up to date, B660 is previous Gen so it will need a bios update to work with 13th Gen. Freshly manufactured new stock should have the bios update from the factory but even if it's just a month or two old it most likely won't. I'd check with the seller before purchase or get a 13th Gen specific motherboard.

Is the new 13th gen intel cpu compatible with the Gigabyte B660 GAMING X AX DDR4 or is there needed a BIOS update. The specs of the mobo say that it is compatible but it does not specify if it needs a bios update.
