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

My son says that the bios version may come with a outdated version but if you go to the website you can get a application that will check for updates and install them.

I run a A8-6600 (which is a 3.8ghz) at 4.5ghz with an H80i liquid cooler and 8gig 2133 memory and it runs flawlessly the F4 BIOS is the best yet. The earlier ones were terrible I agree, I'm sure there is always room for improvement. Always use the latest BIOS available. You shouldn't have any problem.I think the F5 is available.

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.

My last self-built PC was for running that Windows 3.1 so please let me ask this stupid question: for $20 more to get 10+% clock speed does it make any big different? Would this 03G-P4-2883-KR generates more heat (and fan noise) than 03G-P4-2881-KR? I am shopping this for my teen son's xmas surprise first power game PC, so please help. Any recommendations for the ultimate matching motherboad/CPU pair up? Thanks guys!

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.

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?

Check the Gigabyte web site. The board version and BIOS version together will determine if you can use this board for the processor you are using. The Gigabyte web site will provide the last word on it. My BIOS is F3 and works for everything I do. I have not updated it since I set up my system. Did not need to. Hope this helps.

The Gigabyte support page shows the latest bios release, as of 02-05-14, as version F4b (this is a beta release)Version F3 was released on 01-09-14Version F2 was released on 12-16-13Version F1 was released on 09-06-13, this was the First release So it you know when your board was manufactured you should be able to determine the bios version.Hope this helps.

You can without having anything hooked up to it but you can also do it through the bios via the internet. I have the same MOBO with a i7-3930K Processor. I've updated mine a couple of times via the internet and it works absolutely fine. Make sure you convert your motherboard (it may have been already) to the new file format. I can't remember if it's .cap file but it will tell you on their support section on the ASUS website. I believe your file will be the new format. If it doesn't work it will stay to the current one you have which is awesome since that keeps you safe.

Before installing the E8600, I checked my BIOS version (1.0.3) and found a newer version available. I installed the E8600 and updated the BIOS version to 1.0.4 -- Now I'm rockin' in the free world with a Windows Performance Index of 6.6 on a 2006 DELL Vostro 230MT. In short, you don't HAVE TO update your BIOS, but the Smart Bird would do it NOW !!

Yes, two of my friends have the i7 4790k and this RAM with zero problems. I also use this RAM, but with the i5 4670K overclocked. Again, no issues. My friends have had their current set up for two weeks with great results. I know this isn't a very solid confirmation, but I thought I'd at least let you know that I've personally seen it running great with that processor :-)
