Which motherboard? Which mobos work with AMD X6 without flashing bios? I am building a new PC from scratch so I won't be able to flash the bios if the mobo doesn't initially support X6.

I know some of the old Asus boards can be upgraded in the bios to use this chip. I'm not sure if mine does, its the M3N78 Pro. On the Asus website it says the M3N78-VN does and I figure mine should be able to since it's a very simular model. I'll have to do more research.

Any of the 890 chipset motherboards will work without needing a BIOS flash. 890GX has onboard graphics, 890FX doesn't and should have more enthusiast features.

Searching a bit, yes it appears you will need to update your bios :P, is really simple, check this page first http://event.asus.com/2012/mb/USB_BIOS_Flashback_GUIDE/ learn all the steps and watch the videos all, then you can choose your operating sistem here (if you havent instal one use any) http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P9X79_WS/#support_Download open up the "BIOS" sub menu then under "Version 4404" (or higher) download were it says "download from" click on global and follow the steps from 3 to 6. If you still have any trouble, let me know in here i will be glad to help you :) also there is a chance since you are buying it now that it comes with an updated bios and doesn't give any trouble, probably it will :P, good luck!

For amd only, try this one http://www.amazon.com/Maximus-FORMULA-THUNDERFX-Extended-Motherboard/dp/B008GPYT7Q/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1379304176&sr=1-2-fkmr1&keywords=ASUS+Crosshair+V+Formula+i7 and stick with asus, auto overcloking rocks

It completely depends on your motherboard. If you have a motherboard with onboard graphics, then yes, you can boot bios, just plug your monitor to the onboard graphics port. if you have a motherboard without an onboard graphics chip, you will be able to boot the bios (providing you have CPU and RAM installed), but you won't be able to see anything, so it will be no use booting the bios to check if parts are working correctly, or to alter settings without a graphics card hope that helps

I have that mobo. It works. Just change the clock speed to 1866 in the bios and this s*** will be blazing fast.

The XMP wasn't part of the name, but it's in the description, Intel XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) Support is apparently one of the features of these matched DIMM sets and must allow some custom tweaking unique to Intel control chipsets. My board was the MSI 880GM-E43 and just about everything was adjustable

no... the motherboard you are asking about is made for AMD processors:- Support up to 95W Socket AM3+ processors- Support up to 95W Socket AM3 processors: AMD Phenom™ II X6 / X4 / X3 / X2 (except 920 / 940) / Athlon II X4 / X3 / X2 / Sempron processors- Supports 8-Core CPU- Supports UCC feature (Unlock CPU Core)- Supports AMD's Cool 'n' Quiet Technology- FSB 1000 MHz (2.0 GT/s)- Supports Untied Overclocking Technology- Supports Hyper-Transport Technology

No, and I would not recommend this Mobo to anyone! Asus also just so happens to have some of the worst customer support. Give it a try call them tell them you just bought something of theirs that is defective and its to late to return it to the store. They will want you to pay for the S&H; to and from them even if they make mistakes.

I'm currently running my 990EX board with Crossfire using 3x HD 6950 unlocked to 6970's. I'm also O.C. the FX6300 from stock 3.5ghz to 4.7ghz using a Cooler Master GT V6 cooler. Originally I bought the board and had 2 GTX 480's in SLI both are pretty stable and I've had little to no problems with any of the ASRock boards I've purchased. I have a ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 board as well running a i7 2700k in it and that board is very stable I have the 480's running in SLI on that board now since that board doesn't have 3 PCI-e slots Personally I think dollar for dollar the ASRock is a better board not to mention support for Asus is not that good.

If memory serves me correctly, these sticks will work with the latest I-7 chip to date when I ordered my set. I am running the AM3+ socket (AMD cpu) but the Mobo baby sits itself for the most part as far as initial settings. Do be careful to notice that the frequency of the ram is going to be listed for it's capable of on the stick but if you enter BIOS and see lower then the box states don't flip out. There is always a reason for this and it is usually due to the fact that the ram will only go as fast as the board allows with the initial stepping and voltage settings. If you want faster try the included automatic over clocking software included with the motherboard. :-) I hope this has helped.

I used this board and installed a Richland without a bios update. Worked fine. Used this processor: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPLGFM4/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_p1

Yes, according to the support website linked below. However, it requires a later BIOS version than what may be currently on your board. You may have to flash the BIOS to use it. http://goo.gl/7108ON

In the technical details it mentions only AMD x2 and x4... Could that limit the function of this motherboard?

Mine works just fine with my Asus Maximus VI Formula. It's pretty much the same as your mobo. Maybe you have a bad processor or mobo.

If you install your CPU whatever model you have. It should allow you to at least boot into the BIOS so you can flash it then.

Yes, it did it for me out of the box, and i have the 3970X also. I recommend to flash the Bios anyway.

Where did you hear that? All you will need to do is set the RAM profile to XMP in the BIOS immediately upon first boot, and you should be fine. The motherboard supports 2400 when properly OC'd, which is what XMP will do. Go for it!
