I have heard that the bios that came with the m5a99x evo r2.0 have problems with the fx 8320. If that's the case, what should i do? If i got to update the bios, i have to do it with another cpu (which i dont have) or without one it would work?
I dont know too much about this so excuse if the answer is obvious :)

In order to use the FX8320 with that board you need BIOS above version 1006.

That motherboard has the USB flashback features so you can have the newest BIOS file on a USB downloaded on another computer then just put it in the slot and press a button on the motherboard for 3 seconds to update BIOS.

download the BIOS or read about compatibility here:
