Title: FX 8320 Support on GA-990FXA-UD5
Post by: blis on February 07, 2014, 09:23:25 pm

I'd like to use an AMD FX-8320 with a GA-990FXA-UD5

The motherboard page says,

Quote

To enable AM3+ AMD FX-Series CPU support, please update your motherboard with the most current BIOS found in your motherboard’s download section.

Would I need a fully supported CPU to be able to update the BIOS or would the FX-8320 work "enough" to get in and flash it.

All I seem to be able to find in the uk is REV 1.0

You can ask the shop/retailer to update the bios to F10 if needed - talk to them!

SuperFUBAR:  You are correct if the board is a Revision 3.0.  If it is a 1.x like mine you need Bios F10 to run the 8320.
