Compatability redgarding the Crosshair V-Z Formula and the AMD FX 8150

Hi I'm new to this forum and I'm working on my third PC build. (Finally to myself) I've seen various people post in reviews that the Crosshair V Formula has had compatibility issues with the AMD FX 8150 CPU due to an outdated BIOS. I do know how to fix this but I was thinking about buying the Crosshair V-Z Formula since its only 10$ more and want to know if the same issue has been reported on the V-Z Motherboard. Thanks

That would be the best thing to do. The Z board is bulldozer from the ground up and does not need any bios updates.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

Good to know 😄 thanks for the answer!

yeah i actually just got the formula z today in the mail, had a fx 4100 lying around put it in and fired up like a charm. But he was right to ask I had some previous issues with fx processors and the compatibility with some asus boards.

p.s. will be upgrading to an 8 core.
