Does anyone know where to download the exe/update file to get this to work with the CPU bios? I can't find anything on their site....

In late 2013 I purchased and installed this battery in my VGN-220 series VAIO. I simply shut it down and swapped this battery for the OEM one. Fit and finish were good, and it snapped right into place. I did no BIOS updates or other changes to software to accommodate the battery. Upon rebooting, the computer accepted the battery without any issues and began charging it as usual. Some folks have described problems with error messages popping up in Windows saying they're using an improper battery. I did some reading on this when I bought my battery. It is apparently caused by a Sony software agent that is part of their OEM Windows install and runs in the background. Before changing my battery, I had put in a new hard disk and done a clean install of Windows 7, so none of this Sony software was present. (After the new install, I did have to go to the Sony site to get some specific drivers to make the webcam and a few other things work right.) So, if you're running the original factory Windows load, you may have to take some steps to remove or deactivate the Sony battery checker driver/app. I also noticed some sellers claiming their batteries were "unlocked", or had BIOS codes unencrypted, or similar. AGPtek makes no mention of any of this and the battery worked fine for me, so I'm not sure this is a real issue. Perhaps some folks are simply misunderstanding the operation of the Sony battery monitor agent described above, or maybe all aftermarket batteries include this "unlocking" feature and some sellers highlight it as a marketing point while others don't. Not sure.

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.

I actually don't know. Here is the link to the official BIOS downloads:http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m;=Rampage+IV+Extreme&p;=1&s;=42You'll need to search through it to find the answer. Or just Google it?

I use an i7 4770k. Didn't have to update the bios with this board. As long as the processor you are buying is an Intel 1150 it should work right away. This board features 2 bios in case one is messed up. I tried to flash(update) my bios and the pc crashed deleting the bios. I flipped the switch to bios B and it works fine.

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?)?

If you install your CPU whatever model you have. It should allow you to at least boot into the BIOS so you can flash it then.

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.

I upgraded to 8.1 months ago and did the BIOS upgrade when it became available. I have not upgraded any other drivers and run WordPerfect, TurboTax, QuickBooks, Alpha 5, Photoshop and the entire Microsoft Suite. None are in the cloud as I want total control.

Well, the updated support list does include this CPU. Sorry for the previous reply. You may need to update BIOS to F4.

You can without having anything hooked up to it but you can also do it through the bios via the internet. I have the same MOBO with a i7-3930K Processor. I've updated mine a couple of times via the internet and it works absolutely fine. Make sure you convert your motherboard (it may have been already) to the new file format. I can't remember if it's .cap file but it will tell you on their support section on the ASUS website. I believe your file will be the new format. If it doesn't work it will stay to the current one you have which is awesome since that keeps you safe.

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.

You cannot, you will need to get a processor from somewhere else that can boot the board, do the update, then use the new APU. There is no way to boot the bios without a processor.

You need to flash your board with the specific bios for the i7-3930K. Is extremly easy to update. Download the update file from Asus page, copy into a clean fat32 or fat16 formated usb flash memory and insert it in the white usb socket together the flashback botton and press it . Wait for 5 minutes while the systems is updated, when the activity led stop, the system is ready to receive the cpu and boot.

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

I got REV 1.0 but I wouldn't expect any noticeable improvement added to 1.1. The REV 1.0 that I received already has the f4 bios and I don't really need to update to f5 version because I don't see any use of it in the soonest foreseeable future

My son says that the bios version may come with a outdated version but if you go to the website you can get a application that will check for updates and install them.
