Update gigabyte with "no supported" processor

Update gigabyte with "no supported" processor
« on: February 04, 2014, 02:07:33 am »
Hello, I have 1 question I will buy two Gigabyte F2A88X-D3H with amd 760k processor but in the support cpu list  the 760k is compatible with "F2" bios version and I don't know if the motherboards come with "f1" bios version. Can I update the motherboard with the 760K if it comes with "f1" bios or I will have problems?

PD: Sorry for my english.

thanks.

Buy a cheap AMD APU FM2 , the little 5300 ,update BIOS and install the new CPU.

AMD FX (APU-s included) users should install - KB2645594 & KB2646060 under Windows 7

1.ASUS Sabertooth 990FX 2.0 + FX 6300 + H60
2.MSI A88X-G41 PC Mate + A8 5600K + Hyper TX 2
3.Gigabyte F2A75-D3H + A4 5300
4.ASUS AM1M-A + Athlon 5150

Hello! the package arrived, after all the amd 760K works perfectly with the GA-F2A88X-D3H with bios Ver. F1.




Thanks for all.
