What BIOS version will this ship with? Worried about issues with my FX-8320 and whether it will work out of the box or not.

You need to know what motherboard your using then go to the manufactures Web site look for downloads and drivers then look for bios updates

Actually a bios update is required (Bios F5 minimum), though I guess it depends on whether or not this will ship with the updated bios or not.Did you do this build?

It should work. I've been using an AMD FX-8350 with it since October 2013 with no issues

At the time I bought it needs bios update but in this time I have no clear answer but bios update you better e-mile msi support about it

It will support any AM3+ CPU including the FX series with a BIOS update. I prefer never to use onboard video as for it uses physical RAM for it's video memory. I would recommend a small cheap AMD GPU to go with the board.

not sure of the version still on the box, it has a UEFI dual BIOS and i think you can download some BIOS updates if that's your concern.

I'm 99% sure that it needs a bios update to run it. Its super easy to do though, just follow the instructions in the manual.

I was in the same position as you. It did not come with the most recent bios but it actually worked with the i7-4790k. You should be fine. If this is for a Hackintosh, I would he wary of this board as mine keeps freezing when I have more than 8gb of ram and the built in Bluetooth and wifi caused me a bunch of problems. Otherwise it is a great board.

Exactly. Asus Bios managment makes it a snap. Verify before updating you may already have the lastest installed.

Hi incurablegeek.I found this information that can help you solve your doubt is a little more efficient in the 8320 tests performed on this page ...http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-Phenom-II-X6-Black-1090T-vs-AMD-FX-8320Thanks..

Hi, this motherboard is compatible with the 3.5ghz AMD FX-X8 (FX-8320)?? thanks.

I very much doubt if you will need to update the BIOS. I installed an Intel Core i7-3820 and it works perfectly without any update needed.

AMD Rated it at 3.10 GHz to 4.00 GHz Max Turbo. Some People push it to 4.20 but it is not recomended. The new 8320 is rated 3.5 GHz and the new 8350 is 4.0 Ghz at normal speed. Seems there is a problem with the 35nm Process exceeding 4.2 GHz stabily. {Info from AMD News Flash from AMD} I have one running at 4.0 GHz with a Corsair CWC-H100 Water Cooler.

Yes, I have this board, but with an AMD 8-core CPU. I had problems getting it to read due to the complex BIOS of the board. Make sure the last 4 digits of your motherboard serial number matches your BIOS version. The final fix for getting it to read was removing the CPU and CMOS battery for a minimum 5 minutes (as directed by ASUS) and then after the systems boots, adjust the BIOS clocking from 1600MHZ to 1866MHZ.

The current BIOS version is F8. I got my board on 12/1/14 and the BIOS was current.

I would suggest going to the manufacturer's site and checking for supported CPUs for that particular board. Contacting the manufacturer may also be a good idea since you have updated the BIOS.
