Regardless of what BIOS the board comes with, you can change it to F3 by going to the Gigabyte website and downloading their BIOS update utility.

According to Gigabyte, the rev 1.2 motherboard comes with F3 flashed, which was released in April 2013. The amazon.com website says it is delivering rev 1.2 of the GA-F2A85XM-D3H.

If you buy it today, from ASUS, it'll probably ship with 4404, which is current today. If you buy it elsewhere, it'll have whatever it had when manufactured. However, if you put the newest bios on a thumbdrive and connect your new mobo to a power supply, you can flash the bios before you even install the memory. Of course, depending on the cpu and OS you plan to run, the bios you want may be different. Mine is one year old and I am currently running 4306, up from 3209.

mine shipped with f5. You should be able to get into bios anyway and do the usb update thing. But it should ship with f5. BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THIS MOBO DOESN'T SUPPORT SLI THOUGH. I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER BOARD(gigabyte) IF I KNEW THIS. It is a great board but I wish I realized its is crossfire only as I have a gtx 770 and If i want to get a 1440p monitor which will probably need a second 770 I will be out of luck

What the responder said Am3+ is fine. Look at the details on the coolers the block compatibility shows what types of motherboards are good.

The Bios would need an update, I suggest going for a Z97 board, which you should easily be able to find for a similar price.

I don't recall...but I bought mine a few months back and it worked immediately with the AMD A10-7850K chip. I wouldn't worry about compatibility at this point. The old product is most likely pushed through. GREAT MOBO.

No, you're going to need an AM3 or AM3+ motherboard for that CPU. I would suggest the Asus M5A78L-M/USB3, it has roughly comparable features to this board and is compatible with that CPU.

Yeah it should work, Athlons use FM2 socket and in the description of the motherboard it supports AMD Athlon ^^

Check the Gigabyte web site. The board version and BIOS version together will determine if you can use this board for the processor you are using. The Gigabyte web site will provide the last word on it. My BIOS is F3 and works for everything I do. I have not updated it since I set up my system. Did not need to. Hope this helps.

Yes, the socket on the board is FM2. The F2A85-M PRO supports all AMD A-series

it's the second generation of AMD Phenom II processors so you may be talking about the third generation but I havent heard of it beforeyou must compare the features of the two processors against the prices and be sure if it's going to be compatible with your motherboard

Is it ok to use this mother board= ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with this, ADM FX-8150 8-CORE Black.

You need a processor that has a built in graphics. Like the A4, A6 or A8. Like this http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Quad-Core-A8-Series-A8-6600K-AD660KWOHLBOX/dp/B00CPLGGWS/ The processor you have is a straight CPU, where as the A4, A6 and A8 are classed as APUs. The processor you have will need a dedicated graphics card to go along with the board.
