Which BIOS version comes with the motherboard? I have a core i7 4820k processor, and I can't make a BIOS update to start using that processor
1535716
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.

I updated to latest bios using the usb flash bios feature. Followed instructions in the manual. It was easy and worked great!

The motherboard I have for sale should have version 4701 dated 2014/06/23. It was just returned from ASUS support as an RMA replacement and is certified 'like new' by ASUS.

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?)?

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

The Bios would need an update, I suggest going for a Z97 board, which you should easily be able to find for a similar price.

It depends, do you know who makes your motherboard? What computer model is it?

You may not have to even worry about the bios. I upgraded from an AMD A6 to this cpu and didn't have to change bios at all. Once I had the cpu installed and the cpu fan connected. ( make sure of this) The CPU set itself up. All I did was turn on the laptop, let it go threw start up, which took a few more seconds than normal. Once windows came up that was it. It is still a good idea to go in and check system processor to make sure it says AMD A10-4600m

I am sorry, I don't know, I still have mine, in the box, I ended up not using it, it would not operate my Mother Board, that had E6500 or so in it, wrong bio match. I have looked online, and maybe you have too, it is confusing looking at the charts, that show what cpu goes with what Mother Board. I would talk to a computer tech, I need to do that my self pretty soon, I want to redo my last computer, that I got this CPU for. I replaced everything but the Mother Board, and a tech still couldn't figure out the problem, it worked for him, but never worked when I got it home, couldn't figure that out. I gave up, now limping by with my wife's small lap top I am sorry, I don't know, I still have mine, in the box, I ended up not using it, it would not operate my Mother Board, that had E6500 or so in it, wrong bio match.

Searching a bit, yes it appears you will need to update your bios :P, is really simple, check this page first http://event.asus.com/2012/mb/USB_BIOS_Flashback_GUIDE/ learn all the steps and watch the videos all, then you can choose your operating sistem here (if you havent instal one use any) http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P9X79_WS/#support_Download open up the "BIOS" sub menu then under "Version 4404" (or higher) download were it says "download from" click on global and follow the steps from 3 to 6. If you still have any trouble, let me know in here i will be glad to help you :) also there is a chance since you are buying it now that it comes with an updated bios and doesn't give any trouble, probably it will :P, good luck!

I used this board and installed a Richland without a bios update. Worked fine. Used this processor: AMD A6-6400K Richland 3.9GHz Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor AMD Radeon HD AD640KOKHLBOX

I dont see how the bios is relevant, if it is not posting something is dead. Start with memory, switch slots eventually try stick individually if there is more than one. If u are using a kaveri it should post with no bios update since the chipset is for kaveri, if using richland or trinity also

The best was is to download the newest BIOS from ASUS and put it on a USB drive. You can then use the BIOS update utility built into the BIOS to update it.

As per the information on ASUS website, it appears the motherboard's BIOS supports this processor only if BIOS version is 1401 or later. The CPU compatibility list is at http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8B75M/HelpDesk_CPU/You can find a link to the BIOS upgrade file required besides the processor entry on the list page.

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

If you buy it today, from ASUS, it'll probably ship with 4404, which is current today. If you buy it elsewhere, it'll have whatever it had when manufactured. However, if you put the newest bios on a thumbdrive and connect your new mobo to a power supply, you can flash the bios before you even install the memory. Of course, depending on the cpu and OS you plan to run, the bios you want may be different. Mine is one year old and I am currently running 4306, up from 3209.

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

You can definitely do it afterwards cuz that's what I've done. Still I haven't updated my BIOS yet, works fine...
