Will the AMD FX-8370 or 8370E work on My MSI 970 Gaming AM3+

So I've been searching for a while now and msi still hasn't updated the CPU support list yet. But will my MSI 970 Gaming motherboard be able to support the FX-8370 or FX-8370E? Im interested as I might be upgrading from my FX-6300 and I just want to make sure its supported before buying it.

Considering that the FX-8370E is slower than the FX-8320, I suggest you go for the FX-8370, provided your motherboard supports 125W cpus. If it does, you should have no problem running either of those two.

They don't have a BIOS release for the new chips yet.

My motherboard supports the 8350 which is a 125W, so should my mobo be able to support the 8370?

It's not on the support list yet.

It's not on it yet, but, it probably will be. There is no real reason for it not to be.
