mine shipped with f5. You should be able to get into bios anyway and do the usb update thing. But it should ship with f5. BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THIS MOBO DOESN'T SUPPORT SLI THOUGH. I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER BOARD(gigabyte) IF I KNEW THIS. It is a great board but I wish I realized its is crossfire only as I have a gtx 770 and If i want to get a 1440p monitor which will probably need a second 770 I will be out of luck

No, you would need to update the BIOS. Go to the MSI site, look for this particular product, then look in the area for the product for Support (NOT the support listed at the top of the page) and then for compatibility. The BIOS update needed should be there. You can also look for Updates there as well.

I very much doubt if you will need to update the BIOS. I installed an Intel Core i7-3820 and it works perfectly without any update needed.

Unfortunately no - you'll have to try and use a compatible chipset to update the bios before you can use the i7-4820k. I had the same exact problem and found out the hard way.

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.

Will it work? Yes. Perfectly fine? No. Why will it work? Because of Asrock's page for that motherboard which says Supports FSB1333/1066/800/533 MHz CPUs Supports Dual Channel DDR3 1333(OC) . Now for the not so perfect. First lets cover OC. I don't know your level of experience so I I have to cover the basics too. OC stands for over-clock. The overclock of those memory modules is done in your BIOS(setup) when you first turn on the computer . You can navigate there with Delete(usually) or F2. They will otherwise run @ 1066MHz because the Amazon page says F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL. It's a simple variable change in your BIOS. Nothing challenging. Will you get the full 8GB? Absolutely not. A 32bit Win 7 can handle a maximum of about 3.5GB but when I used these babies in my beast of a computer, BEFORE I upgraded to a 64bit OS my computer could only utilize 2GB. Your experience will vary, 8GB for for almost $80??? I spent under $60. You can upgrade to a more modern 64bit OS and the computer will automatically use the rest of the ram but you may need to adjust your memory speeds again after you upgrade or install to a more appropriate version. There are only 2 DIMM slots so no worries with installation issues.

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

I have egirl..i have a 1005PE-PU and i installed the 667hz 2GB crucial ram...it is easily installed, works fine and is instantly recognized. My only problem is that the windows 7 starter is hanging up upon shutdown...leaves the blue light on the on off switch ON with the fan/harddrive running...i am wondering if the ram change had ANYTHING to do with this...the unit is brand new...have written asus AND microsoft for a hotfix or SOME solution...ring any bell with you?

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.

I bought the 3.4 ghz chip. Installed and when system boots I get an error that the current chip isn't compatible. If I continue the PC runs and faster. Think the problem is that the chip 3.4 ghz is dual CPU. E520 bios doesn't support a dual CPU chip. Just my thoughts.

Did you press f2 on restart? Not on initial start but bring it up then do a restart. I know that sounds weird but that is how I got my HE to see the 2GB memory. Hit the f2 key multiple times to get to the BIOS screen. When I installed the 667 mhz memory on my HE the vids were choppy, I replaced it with an 800 mhz and the problem is gone. Maybe I got a bad module, who knows?

Mike,You're welcome -- happy to help. Since you can't get the manual off your CD, you might want to download it from the MSI website:http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc∏_no=1474&maincat;_no=135You can also get the latest BIOS, firmware, drivers, and utilities there. Regards, Joe

Mine was 3204. It so old that it wouldn't boot so I had to update the bios through the USB port for bios flashing. It was quite easy to do.

You cannot, you will need to get a processor from somewhere else that can boot the board, do the update, then use the new APU. There is no way to boot the bios without a processor.

If it does come with f4 bios. Then no I don't believe itll work, I check and the bios has to be f5 I believe

It is recommended to download the latest BIOS, and latest Drivers. It works for me, but flash the BIOS !

Dunno, I don't overclock, so I never paid attention this time.but Is there an easy way top check in the control panel or cmd prompt, maybe bios.I'll check. Tell me how.
