If you update your BIOS to the latest version it will support the 3600.

Carefully read the warnings, you have a Summit Ridge CPU. If you update to the latest BIOS version your current CPU will no longer work on this board. So you should update only right before swapping the CPU.

Yes it's free.

All you need is a flash drive.
