It depends what version of Windows your using,there is 3 BIOS versions for this motherboard,go to Gigabyte.com and look at this motherboard and it will show you under download and supports.

Beware of this motherboard. I have had to return 2 of them to Amazon with various problems which a majority of Asus Tech Support did not know about or didn't care. Originally the board shipped with Bios 0604 and advised to upgrade the Bios to 2012 if you are using the i5 4690K processor. He also indicated the i5 4690K will work properly with bios 1008 but 2012 is the one to use.

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.

According to the internet, you may need BIOS rev 3. Maybe check with Gigabyte's support?

No, you would need to update the BIOS. Go to the MSI site, look for this particular product, then look in the area for the product for Support (NOT the support listed at the top of the page) and then for compatibility. The BIOS update needed should be there. You can also look for Updates there as well.

It seems to be on the supported cpu list here - http://us.msi.com/support/mb/A88XME45.html#support-cpudo a find on 860k when your on that page. The correct bios file is listed at the far right

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.

Hello Ricardo. I bought this Motherboard and CPU combination prior to Xmas. The board accomodates the CPU very well and no BIOS update is necessary. Good Luck

I have not over clocked mine, but it is a dual bios, one of the bios you can not change, the other you can mess with it all you want. So if you tweak it too much and do some setting that makes it not want to work, you flip a switch on the card to the factory bios and your back in action.

Yes, with BIOS version 4306 or later. This is from the ASUS website. It's not clear if you can update a board with an older version with the I7-4930. I don't know how to tell the BIOS version from visual inspection but you might check with the ASIS web site.

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.

I have not checked since I have no requirement to modify the BIOS. You can probably have more luck going through thinkpad user groups.

No bios change for me. However, that could depend on your system and whether or not you're already using a card instead of the motherboard. But I believe that Windows 8.1 handles the video drivers and such so no bios change should be needed.

the bios will update its self and recognize the new core on its own. there should not be any problem but if there is resetting the bios would be the quickest fix for any problems.
