Hi guys, I apologize if my english is not well written, but they are italian.I have a problem, I sold my old cpu and waiting for me to arrive fx8320 I saw only now that you need to update the bios, since my motherboard I took a year ago I do not think that is up to date, I wanted to know there is a way to update the bios from usb without being in possession of the cpu or I screwed up?

You can wait till you get the new cpu  install it then boot from usb with newest bios on it. It has been known to work but there is no promises. It is always best to use one that is supported but things happen hope it works out for you.
