Does the BIOS support i7-3820 CPU. I was hoping to upgrade a piece at a time.

i would say to be honest to all i have this the error is not the board love it it is the BIOS team they should go far away from Evga we want a new bios that works like ASUS.

NO. That particular CPU has been supported for a long time. See list here; http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/list.aspx?SLanguage=en&p;=1&s;=42&m;=P9X79%20PRO&o;s=&hashedid;=ITjeO1wq0nRUPfej

I'm not sure about the i3, but I installed a Haswell i7 processor with no BIOS update required.

No. It is not listed as a supported cpu. http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/list.aspx?SLanguage=en&p;=5&s;=31&m;=Z9PE-D16&os;=&hashedid=EwzBOXTTdiSNRIr4

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 ).

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.

Yes the CPU works? But it's all on the question if you're motherboard can support am3+ and support 125watt CPU"s . I'm not sure what motherboard you have so I cannot answer much. Idk if this is a 125watt CPU but still

We are glad that you are interested with this item. Upon checking, this model can support Core i7 Processors. Thank you for contacting us.

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.

I bought the 3.4 ghz chip. Installed and when system boots I get an error that the current chip isn't compatible. If I continue the PC runs and faster. Think the problem is that the chip 3.4 ghz is dual CPU. E520 bios doesn't support a dual CPU chip. Just my thoughts.

The bios version will depend on when the vendor received the board from Supermicro. The boards we have received all had the most recent, but that is no guarantee yours will.We are using a 6320 (8 core) in our Mobo. Your best source for CPU compatibility will be Supermicro at http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron6000/SR56x0/H8SGL-F.cfm

I checked the Intel site and it that board does not appear to support that processor check http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/cs-012668.htm

My guess would be no. :( The motherboard mfg. usually lists what cpu's will work on their boards and what bios version is required. Dell, not so good on that. I used to buy Dell's but they didn't upgrade their bios often and upgrading them was next to impossible. If Dell's bios doesn't support the faster cpu you are probably at a dead end with dell. :( I made the same jump in processors but it did require a bios upgrade from my MB mfg.

It does not appear to be listed as a supported CPU.http://us.msi.com/support/mb/FM2A75MAE35.html#support-cpu

Yes, the BIOS supports 4930k straight out of the box. There is a BIOS switch at lower right corner. Make sure switch to the BIOS supports 4930k as the manual states. You can upgrade the new BIOS after everything set up.

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.

I believe so IF you have the proper BIOS version. According to the Gigabyte website the cpu is only supported with Bios Version "F4" or later. The cpu must also be revision S1 or later (some may call this the stepping code). It is not clear to me how you might upgrade if the I7-4820 is the only CPU you have. Please note: I have had very limited success with Engineering Samples (ES) CPUs with my Gigabyte motherboards (GA-X79-UP4, GA-X79S-UP5). My advice is stay with the retail releases.
