Alright so here's my problem at the moment:
I bought an Asrock Z68 Extreme 7 Gen 3 Mobo and an i5 3570k (IB). Now in order for the CPU to work with my mobo, I need the firmware or bios whatever it is updates so it runs Ivy bridge.
Now, I found out that you can just have an upated bios chip changed and it should run Ivy Bridge.
My friend has another mobo and a sandy bridge CPU running PC, and I'm wondering if I give him my bios chip from my motherboard, will he be able to update it by taking out the one from his motherboard and putting my one in so he can update the firmware of the bios chip?
