Hi everyone. I'm a bit of a novice so please bear with me. So my situation is that I have the Maximus VI Formula board which is Z87 but I also have the 4790k. I understand that all I need to do is update the bios, however the only way I could do that is either through usb bios flashback without using a CPU, or buying a cheap CPU to simply update the bios then plop the 4790k back in. I really don't want to have to buy another CPU, so my question is... is it possible to do the bios update via usb flashback? I figured it would work, until I read on ASUS's website that they suggest using their specific bios updater tool to do the task. Now I am a bit unsure. Would just like clarity before I try the usb flashback. Thanks.

I am aware of how to use USB bios flashback I am just not sure if that will work since Asus seems to have a special bios updater just for the devils canyon CPUs that I can't use.

Hello

Updating the UEFI for DC requires using the Windows updater utility with a first generation Haswell CPU.

Thanks. I guess I will just buy a really cheap CPU to use for the update.
