Does this Motherboard support Ivy-Bridge-E out of the box or does it need a bios update first?

I did not test it, however I have been using it with the in box software and it hasnt come out with an update. Being that said, and considering it claims to support it, I would say it does.

It supports 1155 socket Ivy Bridge CPUs like the 3770 and 3770K without a bios update. I don't know what you mean by Ivy Bridge-E. I hope that helps.

The best was is to download the newest BIOS from ASUS and put it on a USB drive. You can then use the BIOS update utility built into the BIOS to update it.

You need to know what motherboard your using then go to the manufactures Web site look for downloads and drivers then look for bios updates

Yes. It can take sandy bridge and ivy bridge, no update required. I've got a Celeron G530 and intend to upgrade to an i5 of either generation.

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.

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

No bios change for me. However, that could depend on your system and whether or not you're already using a card instead of the motherboard. But I believe that Windows 8.1 handles the video drivers and such so no bios change should be needed.

I use an i7 4770k. Didn't have to update the bios with this board. As long as the processor you are buying is an Intel 1150 it should work right away. This board features 2 bios in case one is messed up. I tried to flash(update) my bios and the pc crashed deleting the bios. I flipped the switch to bios B and it works fine.

You will need to update the bios; worse yet, you need a compatible CPU on board to do the update ( like the Trinity CPU family ).

I've read that this new part can draw slightly more power than the previous version, and that this change may require a corresponding BIOS update and/or render previous testing of older motherboards incomplete. Bottom line is I would look for some indication such as a statement from your motherboard vendor that it will be compatible.

not sure of the version still on the box, it has a UEFI dual BIOS and i think you can download some BIOS updates if that's your concern.

Yes it is built using the ivy bridge, and you can upgrade to 8GB of ram total.

Normally the MOBO have a specific list with all processors supported! Just find the list and check the processor.

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

It isn't listed on the support list but there is technically no reason it shouldn't. The board has solid VRM and handles high overclocks well. Those are Piledriver CPUs too. They're the same as the 8xx0 series so it should boot if you dropped it in. I'd give ASrock a call or write in to check.
