AMD A10-7870K ASUS A68HM-K Compatibility

[YugoslavM84]

Hello.
I am doing a build for a friend. I determined I would like to use the new AMD A10-7870k as the APU. I found this deal on Newegg that gets everything I need with the Mobo mentioned in the title. I need to know if the APU will work out of the box with the board. If not, I need to know how to update the bios so it will. Thanks in advance.

Hello ,
For ASUS A68HM-k you need bios number 0803 that is released on 14/05/2015 to support 7870k
motherboard that is made after that date will have it out of the box
motherboard that were made before that date will need an update

depending on the seller , some are able to move stock fast so they have the most updated stuff , some can not move stock fast so you will see old dated stuff in them .

ASUS A68HM-K support EZ flash 2 so you will need :
1 x usb flash memory THAT IS FORMATTED IN FAT32 FORMAT , IF YOU USE NTFS IT WILL NOT WORK
bios file on that usb device .
Download 0803 bios file : direct link
