Can any motherboard use any BIOS chip?

I am wondering if the P8 series Bios Chips from Asus can be used in any Asus
Z77 chipset Motherboard?

I believe so if they're the same socket. I'm not EXACTLY sure, but technically speaking, they're all the same motherboards,simply with different chipsets, and others having more expansion slots than others.

I thought that it would not really matter too much with Chipsets and CPU support. When I go to the Asus website every BIOS version for the Socket 1155 are the same.

EDIt. would it matter if the motherboard was used but working

Before you go selecting my answer as best answer, take a good look at the other ones too. They provide some pretty good reasons.

To answer your question, it shouldn't. Unless the used motherboard had some sort of defect on it that didn't render it completely useless, it should be fine. Again, before running off and potentially getting screwed, take a good hard read at the other answers. Like I said, "I'm not EXACTLY sure."
