This is a good processor. as long as the motherboard is capable you should be good. Also you should alway keep your bios up to date.

You can without having anything hooked up to it but you can also do it through the bios via the internet. I have the same MOBO with a i7-3930K Processor. I've updated mine a couple of times via the internet and it works absolutely fine. Make sure you convert your motherboard (it may have been already) to the new file format. I can't remember if it's .cap file but it will tell you on their support section on the ASUS website. I believe your file will be the new format. If it doesn't work it will stay to the current one you have which is awesome since that keeps you safe.

yes. Both of those parts will work with that mother board with no problem. Might want to update them asap though depending on what games you play and what settings you play them at.

I have an I7-3770 and did not require a bios update. Recognized the CPU with no issues, very stable board. No complaints.

It worked fine in my MSI MSI -K9N6PGM2 AQMD mobo. I am going to get some more for some SFF HGP DC5750 units I have. Should be fine

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.

If you're using a 'boot device selectable' bios like on most @sus boards then it does just fine. Stick it on a 'bought' PC you would have to experiment. Bit it's a very cheap gamble as price is fantastic.

The manual say that to mobo must support 667MHz - 800MHz DDR2 memory, so this should work bro.

Yes, using the AM3 Socket, it will work. It may require a BIOS update, but it will work.

My son says that the bios version may come with a outdated version but if you go to the website you can get a application that will check for updates and install them.

Yes, but I would suggest updating your motherboard bios if it's any chipset below Z97. Z87 boards are pretty good with it too, but update just to be safe.

Yes, you will need to update BIOS. Dude, my advice would be to stay away from that mabo. ;-)

I would definitely update the BIOS anytime you change the CPU esp. upgrading

The SPEC's say it will work with your mobo. However, why would you want to? That's fairly expense memory...for the money, it's not really going to buy you a whole lot unless your plans include moving the memory into a newer build later down the road. My suggestion would be to purchase inexpensive memory and put the balance towards a Solid State drive. That will give you a serious improvement.

Mine is in a headless server, Win 8.1 Pro. I can't get into the BIOS without hooking it up. If I knew what you were looking for I'd like to help.

Yes it will. Just make sure to visit the MSI website for an updated driver.

Some early production MBs required a bios update but newer ones are Vishera FX ready. The MB I purchased from Amazon in Nov 2012 worked right out of the box with my AMD FX 8320 processor.
