You should look it up and check what you've been told.

Usually motherboards have stickers on the bios chip as to what level bios has been installed.

It won't harm anything just to try your cpu on the motherboard. It will probably work. If so, you can then update the bios yourself.

If not, you'll need to get an older cpu and use that to update bios.

i've been told that this motherboard needs BIOS version 2.6 or 2.7 to use the Haswell Refresh CPUs and chances are it will not ship with that new of a BIOS version installed. I wasn't sure though.

Sorry I am quite inexperienced and new to building computers and stuff
