What are the chances of this shipping with the bios version that supports the Intel Pentium g3258 without updating bios? Doing HTPC build.

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

Yes. I'm happy with this purchase and would recommend this item. Suited my needs for HTPC.

I was able to get it to work on GTX 260, but power cycling the computer has a 50/50 chance of it not working... So we would leave the htpc running 24/7. Getting it working again was a combination of luck and driver installs and plugging unplugging.

I attempted to contact Intel myself, but to no avail. I went ahead and purchased this motherboard from here on Amazon, but the expected delivery is estimated from between 1 and 4 weeks. I'll update whenever I finally do receive my motherboard and let you know what the ACTUAL waiting time is.

I can tell you that I have AN AMD 9370 that works great with this mobo, I did however do a bios update awhile ago so I'm not sure if it'll work out of the box. updating bios can be done in bios itself when you have an Ethernet connection to the motherboard.

I paired the board with an amd A8 (built in APU) for htpc and light steam gaming. Im able to play dota2 on high, skyrim and batman on med res.

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.

It will support any AM3+ CPU including the FX series with a BIOS update. I prefer never to use onboard video as for it uses physical RAM for it's video memory. I would recommend a small cheap AMD GPU to go with the board.

Greetings, Great question! Yes, the H87ITX-A-E has a UEFI BIOS. Best regards, MITXPC

I dont see how the bios is relevant, if it is not posting something is dead. Start with memory, switch slots eventually try stick individually if there is more than one. If u are using a kaveri it should post with no bios update since the chipset is for kaveri, if using richland or trinity also

The latest BIOS is 4404. I don't know what BIOS is currently shipping with this board, since it would depend on when the board was manufactured. However, 4404 was released in October of 2013, so if the source of the board has fresh stock, you'll likely get the latest BIOS. In any event, I use G-Skill 2133 memory (8x4GB - Quad Matched Sticks) in this board and run it at XMP setting with a hex-core 3930 CPU running at 4.2 GHz, and a Corsair H80i cooler. I replaced the stock H80i cooler fans (noisy) with the Corsair PWM High Static Pressure models (2 fans - push-pull - blowing out of the case), and even when all 6 cores are running at 100% while recoding video for hours at a time, the temp never gets above 70 degrees C. It's a fine board and once I added that H80i and those fans, it has run flawlessly. Buy it, you'll like it!

not sure of the version still on the box, it has a UEFI dual BIOS and i think you can download some BIOS updates if that's your concern.

Its fine for a typical middle powered htpc. Most people aren't putting top of the line graphics cards and processors in an htpc enclosure. Its designed to be quiet not for massive over clocks.

Sorry Frank. I'm still waiting for the CPU. I ordered this M/B and the 20th Anniversary Intel CPU. Haven't got the CPU in yet so have not fired up this board.

This motherboard is not meant for gaming. Its more of a HTPC, streaming, and web surfing board
