Does this motherboard require a BIOS update to use AMD A8-6600K?

You probably will have to update despite whatever processor you have for stability, but if you plan on overclocking don't go with this board...

Depending on the manufacturing date, BIOS versions would differ, but you can always update to the latest version of BIOS by downloading it from ASUS' website.

Yes. Although in the AM3 family, AM3 CPUs will work on AM2/AM2+ boards provided the bois is up to date. If you decide to install it and your bios is NOT up to date, you can download it from the official asus website, however this must done at your own risk. Alternatively, if you already have the CPU in your possession, I would recommend you consider purchasing a slightly newer board with an AM3+ socket.http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N68AM_PLUS/

"Should" work... To make sure, check your *updated* spec sheet for your motherboard on the vendor website.

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

doubt it i went with a 6300 series which is also a fx , you have to use a older processor to update bios first which i tried to do and still could not get it to crank up so i gave up and am using a older processor in the motherboard :(

No the motherboard is am3 and the cpu socket is fm2 so if you already have that motherboard just look for a am3 processor(cpu)

I dont think you will need a BIOS update for this generation card ( 660 ) mine is installed in a 3 year old Dell Inspiron 570 and works great and I also have 4 3 year old HP computers running 5 and 6 series cards at the office.

Yes, with BIOS version 4306 or later. This is from the ASUS website. It's not clear if you can update a board with an older version with the I7-4930. I don't know how to tell the BIOS version from visual inspection but you might check with the ASIS web site.

You must go to the web site of the manufacturer of your motherboard. They should provide a download link where you can find BIOS and Driver updates.

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

No it does not. I would suggest the AMD 8150 or the AMD 8350 CPU for this motherboard. I have both and they work very well with this board.

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.

Yes. Go to cpuupgrade.com and put in your board and it will list the processors.

Hello, no, you have to add the CPU. Check the Gigabyte web page for MB specifications. This model uses AMD processors
