[SOLVED] Will my MSI H310m PRO-VDH 8th gen motherboard support my i5-9500 9th gen CPU straight out of the box ?

[Justin Cheong]

I just bought the MSI H310m PRO-VDH (Non-Plus) motherboard. Will this support my i5 9500 which is a 9th gen processor straight out of the box?

Both my products are totally unused and haven't even touched them yet. On my motherboard box, it says that it was imported during the month of June 2021, does it mean that the BIOS is already updated by the manufacturer in order to support 9th gen processors or do I have to manually update it myself right after hesitantly installing the CPU and other components?

BIOS to support 9th gen CPU was released in August 2018 so there's a good chance your board already has it.
