If you don't see any incompatibilities, it should be ok. Just look at the changes they may have made and see if you care about any of them. They usually have better overclocking and support for more memories.

I'm 99% sure that it needs a bios update to run it. Its super easy to do though, just follow the instructions in the manual.

the bios will update its self and recognize the new core on its own. there should not be any problem but if there is resetting the bios would be the quickest fix for any problems.

I used this board and installed a Richland without a bios update. Worked fine. Used this processor: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPLGFM4/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_p1

You need to flash your board with the specific bios for the i7-3930K. Is extremly easy to update. Download the update file from Asus page, copy into a clean fat32 or fat16 formated usb flash memory and insert it in the white usb socket together the flashback botton and press it . Wait for 5 minutes while the systems is updated, when the activity led stop, the system is ready to receive the cpu and boot.

I am sorry, I don't know, I still have mine, in the box, I ended up not using it, it would not operate my Mother Board, that had E6500 or so in it, wrong bio match. I have looked online, and maybe you have too, it is confusing looking at the charts, that show what cpu goes with what Mother Board. I would talk to a computer tech, I need to do that my self pretty soon, I want to redo my last computer, that I got this CPU for. I replaced everything but the Mother Board, and a tech still couldn't figure out the problem, it worked for him, but never worked when I got it home, couldn't figure that out. I gave up, now limping by with my wife's small lap top

you shouldn't have a problem, but i strongly suggest you to buy a new motherboard, yours is kinda outdated and mobos aren't that expensive nowadays.

I have an A10-6800k and run good, if u want when u have all the system installed and running, update the bios for better performance... I recommend that!

You can if you update the bios unless your lucky and they have an updated one for you. I suggest getting the impact vii version of this board. It has the z97 chipset. It will save you time.

Make sure your running the latest version of your bios, go to your bios and look what version, and tell me what the make and model of your motherboard, and bios version and I'll Se if I can help

Hi, that CPU worked with that main PCB. So far all of my system work well. ThanksTung

I dont see how the bios is relevant, if it is not posting something is dead. Start with memory, switch slots eventually try stick individually if there is more than one. If u are using a kaveri it should post with no bios update since the chipset is for kaveri, if using richland or trinity also

Actually a bios update is required (Bios F5 minimum), though I guess it depends on whether or not this will ship with the updated bios or not.Did you do this build?

but you going to find problems on this CPU with the RAM (all x79 MB have this problems with the RAM) , get 4930K will work OK with the RAM :)

Yes, make sure to update to the newest bios before installing CPU and apply a very good quality of thermal compound to CPU. Thanks, Discount18

I was in the same position as you. It did not come with the most recent bios but it actually worked with the i7-4790k. You should be fine. If this is for a Hackintosh, I would he wary of this board as mine keeps freezing when I have more than 8gb of ram and the built in Bluetooth and wifi caused me a bunch of problems. Otherwise it is a great board.

It all depends on the production date of the board you receive. If you are worried about support for a particular CPU, you shouldn't have to worry anymore as all new boards will have a recent enough BIOS for all FM2+ CPUs and APUs.
