Mine is in a headless server, Win 8.1 Pro. I can't get into the BIOS without hooking it up. If I knew what you were looking for I'd like to help.

Hello Jacob,Probably the BIOS you will get is not the latest one but it is easy to udpate, actually, it is the first thing you should do before installing any software. You can download it from:http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P9X79_PRO/#support_DownloadHere a quick guide on how to update it:http://event.asus.com/2012/mb/USB_BIOS_Flashback_GUIDE/Hope it helps,William

F2A88XN-WIFII guess OTB is Out of the Box I paid to send the MOBO to gigabyte cause it would NOT POST with 7850k,Gigabyte does recommend that an FM2 pre-Kaveri CPU be used to update to F3 ,.if you have that CPU,..I don't .When the MOBO came back, it POSTed on first try with 7850k. Has BIOS F3 . I like the MOBO .ATI\AMD had their staggard release of the FM2 and FM2+ CPU's\chip set. could make it difficult for the MOBOmanufactures to have all in stock MOBO's with latest BIOS. F3 BIOS update has the final details of 7850k releasewhich came out at least 6 months after the first release of the MOBO .

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

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

Hello Ricardo. I bought this Motherboard and CPU combination prior to Xmas. The board accomodates the CPU very well and no BIOS update is necessary. Good Luck

I checked the manufacture date using a software to read the bios and it was only 2 months since it was manufactured. I can pretty much say it was very new. I don't know much about the color coding because I just used the manufacture date. hope it helps, good day

Bought mine in October, 2013. It is Rev. 1.0. The bios, drivers and utilities need to be updated from the ones on the disk included with the Rev 1.0 MB. Just go to the ASUS website and compare the dates of the updated stuff with the dates on the disk files. You'll be good to go! Great board imho.

Looks like we are all recieveing conflicting information from the Amazon reps... I was told that it should be shipping tonight, with a delivery date of tomorrow... I guess we will see. If I had known that there was going to be extra processing time I would have just gone with Newegg!

It seems to be on the supported cpu list here - http://us.msi.com/support/mb/A88XME45.html#support-cpudo a find on 860k when your on that page. The correct bios file is listed at the far right

Ours is a few months old, and I didn't update the Bios... ours is working fine!

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

To be honest I'm not really sure, but it is WIN7 so I would guess BIOS. The keyboard on this laptop is awful and the battery life is worse. I would look elsewhere; there are much better ones out there.

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

I have not checked since I have no requirement to modify the BIOS. You can probably have more luck going through thinkpad user groups.

Well ... Heres my update Now ... Newegg just erased the release date that was 11/7 and didnt replace it with anything ... So they no longer list an ETA.

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.
