Hello

I plan on purchasing a new devils canyon (i5 4690k) CPU for my new system build. However my mobo (gigabyte ga-z87x-d3h) does not support the new 4th gen haswell processors until after a bios update.

Is it possible to use The Q Flash utility, or any method for that matter, to update the bios through USB while running the unsupported CPU? In other words, has anyone tried this or know if I can use Q Flash with out a post, or if will post long enough to get into bios.

Thanks for any responses!

You need to install a compatible CPU to apply BIOS update. See if you can borrow one.
