hi,

I'm interested in buying the x79-deluxe to use with my second gen i7 extreme, but I'm not sure if they are supported without a bios update. Since I dont have another socket 2011 cpu on hand I would not be able to update the bios untill my 3960x was compatible.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

I am assuming you mean the ASUS X79 Deluxe?

If so, then the 3960x is supported straight out of the box.

May I ask why you want such an extreme CPU?

Novuake,

Thanks for your help, the other forums I had read were vague about Sandy bridge-e support. As to why I got the 3960X, last year I started to buy components for a system but I got sidetracked and haven't been able to finish building until recently.

Thanks again,

Mblack
