Ive always been curious, if a mobo needs a bios update to support the chip what are your options for getting the bios updated without using another cpu?

Ive built two PCs now that have used a motherboard that wasnt advertised to support a cpu I was using for the build out of the box, but happened to support the chip anyways

Some mobos can be updated without a cpu, those that do need it though, tough luck.
