What bios version does the motherboard come with?

My son says that the bios version may come with a outdated version but if you go to the website you can get a application that will check for updates and install them.

As of right now there is only bios F6 "first release" listed on Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 support page.

According to the manufacturer website http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4518 might need a BIOS upgrade

I don't recall...but I bought mine a few months back and it worked immediately with the AMD A10-7850K chip. I wouldn't worry about compatibility at this point. The old product is most likely pushed through. GREAT MOBO.

The bios version will depend on when the vendor received the board from Supermicro. The boards we have received all had the most recent, but that is no guarantee yours will. We are using a 6320 (8 core) in our Mobo. Your best source for CPU compatibility will be Supermicro at http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron6000/SR56x0/H8SGL-F.cfm

I don't remember listing anything on this board. Its a great board and came out recently. Go to Asus.com to get the info you need.

What do they mean by updating BIOS. Is this the kind of setup you spend long frustrating hours on? Should I opt for a different brand/model (suggestions?)?

Beware of this motherboard. I have had to return 2 of them to Amazon with various problems which a majority of Asus Tech Support did not know about or didn't care. Originally the board shipped with Bios 0604 and advised to upgrade the Bios to 2012 if you are using the i5 4690K processor. He also indicated the i5 4690K will work properly with bios 1008 but 2012 is the one to use.

When I received my board, it came with the F1 bios. I have since updated to F4b. No problems. I should note that I ordered and received my board in mid November 2013. Hope this helps.

Yes, according to the support website linked below. However, it requires a later BIOS version than what may be currently on your board. You may have to flash the BIOS to use it. http://goo.gl/7108ON

No this is Z87 board, get the Maximus VII (Z97 chipset) one, that one has it.

I don't really recall. Mine fried at the power connector and Asus will do nothing about it because I don't have the serial number.

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.

Yes, just be sure to get the latest drivers and BIOS from Foxconn's website. For some reason these ship with an older version of the BIOS.

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.

You must go to the web site of the manufacturer of your motherboard. They should provide a download link where you can find BIOS and Driver updates.
