Hi,

Practically, why are you bothered about the BIOS update since you haven't still bought that board? Secondly, why would you like to buy that motherboard while it's bios firmware doesn't still support your CPU? Just a thought.

That 760g chipset is terrible for an fx6300

Ok but those are atx boards anything better than 760 chipset but micro atx ?? Just got new case

Your CPU will still probably work on that motherboard since your CPU is in its compatibility list. Provided that if you don't upgrade your BIOS firmware to the latest version you wont be able to get your CPU's maximum performance and capabilities.
