Hi, I recently just ordered a FX-8120 CPU with a gigabyte GA-970A-UD3, On the gigabyte website it states that i will need to update my BIOS to enable FX CPU support. Can this be done by flash BIOS with the 8120 installed?Thanks! :D
Cancel the order, you need a cpu that works with it first, update the bios and then install the new cpu. Bulldozer is awful and overpriced. It gets destroyed by tons of intel hardware and even some older amd stuff. You could take it to a local tech or a microcenter and have them flash the bios for you (using a compatible cpu) Take a look at the Intel Core i7-2600K. Great bang for the buck and if you are just playing games look at the i5-2500k. The i5-2500k beats the cpu you have selected and it only cost 179.99 mkay , but I also did answer your question so how about a best answer ? fully aware!? Does not compute! Are you rooting for the underdog?
