Hey all I have an ASUS crosshair formula V mobo and im wanting to throw in the FX8350 i just picked up for fairly cheap

just wondering where on earth I can find a download for the bios? i understand im able to use the 3029 bios with the 8350, throw it on a usb
then once i have installed the new chip into the board update the bios on reboot

but after a bit of searching im not sure where to find this, anyone that has done it before show me where to go?

you want to update the bios before you install the new chip. The 3029 bios is for the formula IV not the Formula V. The latest for your board is the 1703 bios.

Edit: wrong link and info.

Wrong BIOS. He has a Crosshair V. That BIOS is for a IV.

You are correct will fix. I was a little confused by OP talking about the 3029 bios which is a IV bios not a V bios.
