What is the bios version on this board? Is it above ver. 4210? (It needs to be to support the i7-4930k)

Hello Jacob,Probably the BIOS you will get is not the latest one but it is easy to udpate, actually, it is the first thing you should do before installing any software. You can download it from:http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P9X79_PRO/#support_DownloadHere a quick guide on how to update it:http://event.asus.com/2012/mb/USB_BIOS_Flashback_GUIDE/Hope it helps,William

Depending on the manufacturing date, BIOS versions would differ, but you can always update to the latest version of BIOS by downloading it from ASUS' website.

sorry, doesn't show that processor supported. Also read David's note, has site info. And the software it comes with has bios updater, works good.

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

Yes, according to the support website linked below. However, it requires a later BIOS version than what may be currently on your board. You may have to flash the BIOS to use it.http://goo.gl/7108ON

The bios version that came with mine didn't support my processor (i7 4820k) all I did was load the latest bios on to a USB and follow the instructions and in less than 10 minutes it was up and running. The instructions for updating the bios are very simple, you don't need to install anything to update the bios, all you need to do is have to motherboard connected to the power source.

I think so. I have not been able to get mine to work as when I get in bios and set it up nothing happens. Have problem getting into bios and nothing seems to work. Think it is perhaps a bad board.

I used this board and installed a Richland without a bios update. Worked fine. Used this processor: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPLGFM4/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_p1

My board, the Z87-Plus will work with this processor but it does require a bios update. A lot of other vendors are putting out their own updates as well.

This is the board i purchased for my 4790k haswell and it has been working good, the bios will need to be updated though.

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 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?

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

I have that mobo. It works. Just change the clock speed to 1866 in the bios and this s*** will be blazing fast.
