Does it support 3rd generation intel processers without a bios upgrade

Yes. It can take sandy bridge and ivy bridge, no update required. I've got a Celeron G530 and intend to upgrade to an i5 of either generation.

Yes. I currently have a Ivy Bridge Celeron installed in mine "Intel Celeron G1620 2.70GHz LGA-1155" to be exact. Weather or not it would support like a core i7 I am not 100% but being that its the same architecture and from the same gen it would say yes. Hope that answers your question.

I dont think so, this processor (I owed one) is old, and this board uses a brand new chipset.

Yes, just be sure to get the latest drivers and BIOS from Foxconn's website. For some reason these ship with an older version of the BIOS.

Yes it does, it supports all the latest Intel 4th gen (Haswell compatable) component's, The ONLY downside to this motherboard is overclocking does not work. But besides that, full speed pcie 3.0 and everything.

You can if you update the bios unless your lucky and they have an updated one for you. I suggest getting the impact vii version of this board. It has the z97 chipset. It will save you time.

Nope. I wouldn't upgrade motherboards just to accommodate the video card. You wouldn't see much in the way of results from the pcie 2.0 to 3.0 upgrade.

My son says that the bios version may come with a outdated version but if you go to the website you can get a application that will check for updates and install them.

doubt it i went with a 6300 series which is also a fx , you have to use a older processor to update bios first which i tried to do and still could not get it to crank up so i gave up and am using a older processor in the motherboard :(

No. But you CAN use an unlocked processor with this board and take full advantage of the board's excellent built-in overclocking features that are in the BIOS.

I have an I7-3770 and did not require a bios update. Recognized the CPU with no issues, very stable board. No complaints.

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.

No. That is an "AM3" motherboard. The processor requires an "AM3+" motherboard.

No, the newest motherboard compatible with this processor is the Z77 chipset. They use socket 1155, not the 1150.

It supports the processor, I would recommend making sure to apply new BIOS updates after install for best compatibility and performance though. The compatibility I talk about it between it and RAM. It does improve performance.

Noo It is not supported because this processor is not Intel, this AMD processor brand and so therefore use different socket

You will need to update the bios; worse yet, you need a compatible CPU on board to do the update ( like the Trinity CPU family ).
