hey all
I'm putting together a gaming rig right now and I have a question about the CPU and mobo
since I don't have an am3 cpu to first start my rig up and update my bios for Bulldozer, what would happen If i start up my PC fresh with a Bulldozer CPU inside without the bios update? and how can I update my bios before installing the cpu or get my pc to be able to start up while the Bulldozer chip is in and update my bios.

thanks alot for the help

i think you will be able to power it up just fine but with some probs like downclocked etc.

so it'll be downclocked until I update the Bios right?

as far as i know, it will run 1 core ( unknown CPU) @ 800MHz, and you 'll be able to update your BIOS

thanks for that info. but will all the settings for the CPU be normal after I update the bios?

Save a copy of your Bios to a flash drive or a mem stick. But usually, it is always safer to download and flash

the bios yourself with their utility. Don't worry, it works so don't panic.
