If I were to order this motherboard today (Feb 11) would it come with the correct BIOS for Richland CPU's? I do not have a Trinity CPU. Thank you.

That CPU is a AM3+ socket. This Mobo has a AM3 socket. Some AM3 motherboards did receive patches to make them compatible for AM3+ CPU's, but this one was not one of them. That CPU will not work to my knowledge.

No it shouldn't be. Your bios is already set for that platform. Just go.to the nios after installng and make sure that all cores are on. You can look on tomshardware or other forums to find out how.But why not upgrade to vishera or wait until AMD get their act together and release a new chip hopefully by the end of the year. The 1090t is a good chip though. But waiting will ensure that your system will be compatible with the later harware such as pcie 3 ddr4 and other upgrades.that are not released yet. If you can afford both to wait and the money build a new system when the new amd chip comes out. No it shouldn't be. Your bios is already set for that platform.

This board is for the CPU socket LGA1155, that only Supports 2nd 3rd Generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3/Pentium/Celeron Processors. If you can match the CPU socket with those 3rd Gen CPU, you'll have a great stable mobo. I have mine since Ivy Bridge started and now even a BSOD.... Not a single one.... Ever. You can have your 2500k CPU to work with it but with 3rd Gen prices, I'll strongly suggest that, if you're not in a budget, get a 3rd Gen CPU.

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

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 ).

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

I bought the 3.4 ghz chip. Installed and when system boots I get an error that the current chip isn't compatible. If I continue the PC runs and faster. Think the problem is that the chip 3.4 ghz is dual CPU. E520 bios doesn't support a dual CPU chip. Just my thoughts.

I attempted to contact Intel myself, but to no avail. I went ahead and purchased this motherboard from here on Amazon, but the expected delivery is estimated from between 1 and 4 weeks. I'll update whenever I finally do receive my motherboard and let you know what the ACTUAL waiting time is.

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.

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.

The motherboard Amazon shipped to me is Rev 4.0. However, I've noticed some post from people arguing that they received an older one. I suppose it depends on the stock and date of purchase, but from my personal experience, this MB IS Rev 4.0 and should support FX9590. You can always double check for yourself on Gigabyte's website for detailed info.

No it doesn't, is just the board and if you get this one take notice is for second/third generation Intel processors (current generation is fourth).I'm assuming you dont have a processor (CPU), so i will advice you to get a current generation board. Depending on your needs you can google stuff like "best budget cpu" or "best cpu for the money".Be careful about processors sockets when choosing a board

I agree with the two previous answers. However, I would suggest reviewing the specifications for your motherboard. The CPU will fit, but if the BIOS is not compatible you will have problems. This pertains to the CPU Architecture of 65nm vs 45nm (newer). Some boards are compatible out of the box, others have BIOS upgrades, and there are some older boards that do not have a BIOS update to support 45nm. It is better to check and be on the safe side.

the software included with the motherboard has utility to update your bios by itself, just open it up it will scan to find the bios you need for the newest update.I have the 4790k as well, runs great. what was your issue with the chip if you don't mind me asking?
