After installed the Haswell refresh/Devil's Canyon CPU on this board, how can I update to the latest BIOS if the old BIOS does not support the CPU?

You need to flash the bios, you'll need another computer to get the new bios onto a flash drive.

Exactly. Asus Bios managment makes it a snap. Verify before updating you may already have the lastest installed.

I would suggest going to the manufacturer's site and checking for supported CPUs for that particular board. Contacting the manufacturer may also be a good idea since you have updated the BIOS.

I'm not sure about the i3, but I installed a Haswell i7 processor with no BIOS update required.

DavidLJ48- do you have the 780i motherboard also? If you do then you shouldn't have any problems running the cpu. Have You tried upgrading your bios before you upgrade the cpu?

It doesn't matter what revision of the board is being sold. You can update the software for the board at Intel on line. The software flashes the system bios and upgrades the board to the most recent revision.

It should work out of the box. I have a Celeron G1610 which is an Ivy Bridge CPU and there was no need to update 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.

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?

The MSI website states that you should update the BIOS using Trinity to support Richland. It also says once you update it to support Richland, you cannot flash back to any earlier Trinity only BIOS

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

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.

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.

That depends on the mobo manufacturer, but most of the Z87 manufacturers have released BIOS upgrades to support Devils Canyon chips. Check out the manufacturers websites for CPU support. I know that ASUS ROG boards support it as I have my i5 in an Asus ROG Maximus VI Impact. Had to do a BIOS upgrade but with the BIOS USB Flashback on ROG boards it's super easy.
