Bios questions for CPU

[Light666]

I bought a " AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX " and I need to know if I'm gonna have to update my bios, my mainboard is " MSI 760GM-P34FX Auto overclocking " and my current BIOS version/date is " BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. V17.14, 3/25/2013
" do I need to update it to make it work fine with my new cpu or if not needed please let me know before I even attempt this.

Personally I would not use a FX 8350 with MSI 760GM-P34FX.
And it does not officially support a FX 8350. There is no BIOS version which support this as it is not deigned fro a FX 8350 cpu.

I really need to know if im screwed... I already bought it and was told I was ok but I just never was told if my bios update is needed or not.. on my mainboard box it said it can support AM3+ sockets with the latest updates.

I have no idea why they removed all support for 125 Watt CPUs, including Phenom IIs. Some people do run FX-8320 and ---- FX-8350 in this board without problem. ----

You can return the cpu if you want for a FX 8320E.
I would also update the BIOS before installing the new cpu.
