Need update Bios due to issues with my 4790K. The drivers page has 2 Bios, 1 Rev 1.0 &amp; 1.1. CPU-Z tells me Z97X-UD5H x.x. - Where do I find the rev?

Look on the motherboards corner by the PCI slots. The rev should be marked right on the board. It also shows where to look on the unmarked page 3 of the User's manual.

Just to add, EVGA has a CPU and Memory Support list for this MOBO: http://www.evga.com/support/motherboard/The 4790K is listed.

Mike,You're welcome -- happy to help. Since you can't get the manual off your CD, you might want to download it from the MSI website:http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc∏_no=1474&maincat;_no=135You can also get the latest BIOS, firmware, drivers, and utilities there. Regards, Joe

Ours is a few months old, and I didn't update the Bios... ours is working fine!

Today is January 13th, 2014. I just had this motherboard delivered to my door and it is labeled REV 1.1. I assume that is the C2 stepping, but I will confirm when I get it all hooked up.

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

According to the internet, you may need BIOS rev 3. Maybe check with Gigabyte's support?

I updated the bios just before I loaded the OS. most every motherboard needs an update - but it worth it! The computer runs much better with the bios up update!! The instructions are in the booklet that comes with the motherboard, or you can go to you tube.

My son says that the bios version may come with a outdated version but if you go to the website you can get a application that will check for updates and install them.

You need to know what motherboard your using then go to the manufactures Web site look for downloads and drivers then look for bios updates

The motherboard I have for sale should have version 4701 dated 2014/06/23. It was just returned from ASUS support as an RMA replacement and is certified 'like new' by ASUS.

Yes, this board supports the i7-4790k. That's what I'm using in my build. Be careful when installing, though, because this board over clocked it by default without even asking me, so it ran a little hot with the stock cooler. You can set it back to stock clocks in the BIOS.

It supports CrossFire, but needs a bios update to use the i5-4690 unless you get lucky and receive a very recent copy of the board. Get the i5-4670 for this board or if you want to stick to the i5-4690 then get the MSI Z97-G41. That is the newer version of this board and supports the i5-4690 without having to flash update 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 recommended to download the latest BIOS, and latest Drivers. It works for me, but flash the BIOS !
