Does the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Socket AM3+ motherboard support the FX 4130?? It's rev. 4.1 version, i checked online and on the cpu support list it has

fx 4100
fx 4150
fx 4170

but no fx 4130???? does it support it?

Although not listed, it should work.
A BIOS update might be necessary: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/388959-31-really-slow-build

Would it boot without the BIOS update though? Since i don't have another am3 cpu to boot on and install the update....

Hard to say. I suggest contacting Gigabyte and asking them.

What revision board do you have? I think the Revision 5 Boards support FX chips without the need to update Bios etc.

I have seen some people having issues with 125W CPUS.... ie the FX8***, but they were earlier versions of the board. I think Rev5 onwards should be fine... according to gigabyte..
