Motheboard BIOS?

[Gooses]

I've just bought some new computer components, including a new mobo and CPU.
I got the 1055t AMD CPU with a gigabyte motherboard. I was looking at the CPU compatibility list and it says the CPU is supported but under version FB of the BIOS. So, what I am wondering is, if my motherboard comes with FA on it by default, will it still start up with the 1055t CPU, or will I have to update the BIOS before it'll even use the CPU at all.

Thanks

Although I haven't tried the newest GB Boards, what I do know from past experience is it will boot up with the chip, it just won't see the new 'Cores'.

Your best bet is to put the new BIOS On a Flash Drive and Flash it from the BIOS (Q-Flash I believe) and then fire it up. But it should boot at least.

even if you need to flash it should still boot ( amd chips ) then update bios for all features and cores of the new chip to be recognized. intel chips a lot will just not boot. in my experience

Thanks guys, wasn't sure if I was going to have to flash before I started up or not. Also, does anyone know if gigabyte auto updates the drivers it comes with or should I just get the newest stuff from their website instead of installing what's on the disc?
