64 Mb Flash ROM, AMI BIOS, PnP, DMI2.0, WfM2.0, SM BIOS 2.5, ACPI 2.0a (HID/mouse friendly, Asus advanced config and Asus simple config). As for the processor, From intel ARK the processor is an LGA1150, and the MoBo supports pentium processors. so yes it'll work

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.

My board, the Z87-Plus will work with this processor but it does require a bios update. A lot of other vendors are putting out their own updates as well.

The compatibility of the ram depends more on your motherboard than your cpu. If your motherboard supports the 1600mHz, then it is likely that the g3258 will also. However, the cpu spec sheet says that it only supports up to 1333mHz, so if you use 1600mHz sticks it may downclock them to 1333mHz. I used Kingston HyperX Fury 1600mHz 2x4gb sticks with the g3258 on a z97 mobo and they operate fine. Unfortunately I am not home right now to check the bios to see what speed they are actually running. Regardless, even if they are not support by the g3258, you can still use 1600mHz ram sticks (as long as your motherboard supports them), they might just be automatically downclocked.

Yes, all Intel 3XXX series chips are supported out of the box. Will support the 4XXX series after a bios update.

Yes, the BIOS supports 4930k straight out of the box. There is a BIOS switch at lower right corner. Make sure switch to the BIOS supports 4930k as the manual states. You can upgrade the new BIOS after everything set up.

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.

You can either flash the latest version bios or buy a pre-flashed chip online, if you're comfortable with doing that. It will allow you to use the latest components.

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

According to the Asus website it is. Need to have a Bios version of 0402 or greater.

I installed mine in a 4 year old Dell Studio 550, no bios upgrade was necessary. You may want to check the manufacture's web site and see if you have the latest bios update for your machine. Even if you do not have the latest update it may not matter as the bios update may not address any cpu issues.

It supports the processor, I would recommend making sure to apply new BIOS updates after install for best compatibility and performance though. The compatibility I talk about it between it and RAM. It does improve performance.

sorry, doesn't show that processor supported. Also read David's note, has site info. And the software it comes with has bios updater, works good.

I would suggest checking the product website, they have listed the compatible chipsets and processors

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
