Bios question

Hi chaps,

Ive got a spare 5800k apu and was looking at getting this motherboard for it http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-549-AS&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=2399

I thought id check the asus website to see if the board needed any bios updates so the apu would work. On the site it says that the 5800k needs the 5008 bios. So I checked the bios list and there is no 5008 bios. The first release is 5007, but no 5008 biosd thats needed.

Any ideas?

Heres the link to the board http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/F2A55M_LE/#support_Download_30

Looking through the CPU support list majority of cpu's needed BIOS Rev 5008 even the ones which were at the original launch of FM2 cpu's and that includes the 5800k.

The board will likely come with a later BIOS than 5008, if it existed, anyway.
