Is this the newest version with BIOS 3303 that supports the dual 8-core processors?

Elario, If this is a new board it will support 4200 series. We have maybe 8 or so of them. Maybe half running 4284. I don't recall off hand but if you google you will find bios update instructions for 4200 series. You have to have a 4100 series CPU to do the update. You also need secondary 12V hooked up if 2 CPU to post. Hope this helps.

Hello, I currently have installed two 4-core processors, but in theory should sportear 8-core processors. What is important is that the processors are compatible with socket c13

Its the Intel i3-3227U dual core processor. So far, except for having to deal with Windows 8, its working fine. The unit has been very reliable and fast for our needs running Office, surfing, Hulu, etc. no complaints.

I very much doubt if you will need to update the BIOS. I installed an Intel Core i7-3820 and it works perfectly without any update needed.

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

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

3765 has dual bios. I don't think backplate comes with all 3765 model though.

Yes you can. You can use just one of the listed supported CPU's. If you're having issues with a certain CPU you may need the BIOS upgraded, or buy a BIOS chip with the upgraded BIOS needed for the processor you're using.

It is...but when I set my mobo's configuration for 2400 MHz RAM, it failed...It defaulted to 1333 MHz, barely half of what is claimed.

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.

Yes, it is. I personally have this one paired with a Sabertooth x79, the UEFI bios takes care of the overclocking. Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I think all i7-3xxxK and i7-4xxxK processors are unlocked.

Yes it is a quad core. http://ark.intel.com/products/71459/Intel-Core-i7-3630QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz. However the operating system it comes with is Windows 8.1 and it's the worst piece of CRAP I've ever had to deal with. I would recommend wiping the operating system and using a more stable version like Windows XP or something. :\

The bios version that came with mine didn't support my processor (i7 4820k) all I did was load the latest bios on to a USB and follow the instructions and in less than 10 minutes it was up and running. The instructions for updating the bios are very simple, you don't need to install anything to update the bios, all you need to do is have to motherboard connected to the power source.

It's on the supported CPU list: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=2842

It is compatible with sandy bridge and ivy bridge if the bios is updated to a certain revision. If not you can actually update the bios with a pen drive without a CPU installed.
