Is there a reason you want to know?

Usually people want to know because they want to make sure what BIOS version is needed to support the CPU they want to buy. In my case I had to update the BIOS so my motherboard would would work with the CPU I wanted to upgrade to.

I just looked at the CPU support list for your new motherboard. All the CPUs listed are supported by the initial F3 BIOS. BIOS versions F4 & F5 also available to download. See the list below.

You will probably have to wait until you get the motherboard to knows what BIOS it has. Since it will work with whatever CPU you choose from the list given then that should not hold you back. If everything works OK then if I would not worry about it. BTW, you will see the BIOS version on the POST screen during the boot.
