Hi guys.
just wondering since my friend is building his new pc and goes full amd on both the cpu and gpu and mobo.
does the ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional need a bios update for the amd fx 8320?
if you're wondering this is the entire system. Converted to US dollar from our currency.
Processor: AMD FX 8320 = 7,300 (165.18$)
Motherboard: Asrock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional = 8,150 (184.41$)
Memory: corsair vengeance 16gb 4x4gb 1600mhz cl9 = 6,500 (147.08$)
GPU: Sapphire R9-280X Toxic = 16,200 (366.56$)
SSD: samsung evo 120gb = 5,200 (117.66$)
HDD:
ODD: (samsung any)850 (19.23$)
PSU: corsair ax 650 80plus gold = 7,000 (153.39$)
Chassis: Bitfenix Shinobi Window XL ATK (black or white) = 6,800 (153.86$)
CPU Cooler: h100i = 4,900 (110.87$)
Total = 62,900 (1423.24$)
he has an old phenom II 960T BE he's using right now before we buy on saturday on our local store so just wanted to know if the mobo needs a bios update. since after looking at the asrock site it says that the 8320 is supported at p1.70 bios or so I understand it.
Also it is said on the asrock site here. http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty 990FX Professional/?cat=CPU
that the 960T is supported by bios p1.60 (if the 990fx has a lower bios bios version then we would have difficulties on flashing it and have to get it flashed by the seller or supplier).
