GA-970A-DS3P and FX-8350 compatibility

[Shutter Boy]

What are the chances the Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P motherboard and AMD FX-8350 are compatible out of the box with no BIOS update required?

It will be.  It's a motherboard with one of the latest chipsets for socket AM3+.

 

Supported CPUs are listed here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-970A-DS3P-rev-10#support-cpu

 

FX-8350 is supported with BIOS version F1 which was published in 2013, and version F2j  (newest bios, adding support for more CPUs) was released in December 2014

And if you get Revision 2.0 of the board, FX-8350 is supported with bios version FA and that one was released in 10th month of 2014, and there's 2 more bios versions since then. You'd probably get the latest bios, FD... so pretty much guaranteed to support FX-8350
