Can this CPU work with my Motherboard?

Can the Intel Core i7-4960X Ivy Bridge CPU work with the P9X79 LE motherboard? I'm thinking of buying the CPU for the upgrade, but I need to be sure it is compatible.

Yes ,you need to update the BIOS.

Yes, the CPU is supported beginning with BIOS version 4210 according to the ASUS CPU compatibility chart.

I downloaded the lastest update, but it gives me a zip file and not an exe. How do I update?

Section 3.10 of your motherboard owners manual will have multiple methods for upgrading the BIOS version.
