This motherboard supports new intel pentium g3258 without updating bios ?

Actually a bios update is required (Bios F5 minimum), though I guess it depends on whether or not this will ship with the updated bios or not.Did you do this build?

Yes, as long as its a LGA1150 socket type, also gigabytes Bios screens are easy to navigate.

Yes, I've installed this chip but had to do a bios update before it would boot.

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.

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?

I've read that this new part can draw slightly more power than the previous version, and that this change may require a corresponding BIOS update and/or render previous testing of older motherboards incomplete. Bottom line is I would look for some indication such as a statement from your motherboard vendor that it will be compatible.

My ASUS Z87-Pro has both a BIOS update and a program to run to make the board compatible with Devil's Canyon (err this CPU).

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.

Possibility, with bios update, however, this motherboard went dead on me after only two days

My son says that the bios version may come with a outdated version but if you go to the website you can get a application that will check for updates and install them.

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.

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

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.

I received mine a week or two ago and it shipped with the F5 bios which worked with the G3258.

I'mm not exactly sure what version it is but it doesn't matter. I have the 8350 in this exact motherboard and it works fine. Don't worry about the processor having problems with this board. Only lower end or older boards will have that problem.

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

This motherboard supports all processors that use the Intel 4th Generation 1150 socket [All Intel CPU's in the "Core" series (i.e. i3, i5, i7) and some models of Intel Pentium Dual Core that utilize the 4th generation LGA-1150 socket. (not to be confused with the "Intel Pentium D", which used the old 3rd Generation socket, and is NOT supported)] Hope this helped (:
