AMD Athlon 200GE Bios Update

[gabobo]

Hey! I need some help urgently... I'm building a PC with the following parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xnYjgw
It says I need a BIOS update. This is my first time building a PC, so I'm not sure what that means. Also where can I order the kit to updated?

Thanks !

It means the GA-A320M-S2H board that you picked was designed BEFORE the 200GE chip was released. It is possible that the board won't support that CPU straight out of the box. This page -- https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-A320M-S2H-rev-1x#support-cpu says that the 200GE CPU requires the F23 BIOS. That BIOS is the very latest BIOS and was released in Aug 2018. It is VERY likely that you will need a BIOS update. You might have to borrow a supported CPU or take the board to a local computer shop to get the BIOS updated. If you change to a B450 motherboard you can probably avoid the BIOS problems.
