It will support.AM3+ are backward compatible.

else may require flashing latest bios.

thanks techfreak.

SAM we can flash bios using some software right?

 

[coderunknown]

you can flash bios from pendrive or any bootable disc but i am not sure if it can be done if the processor is not supported. though these boards should ship with out of box support for AM3 processor.

It supports AM3 processors out of the box. Our forum member cilus has an Asus sabertooth 990fx and has a 1090t BE installed. So no worries on compatibility front.
