Are these two compatible?

I have heard that they are, but would probably need a BIOS update that's only possible with another non-refresh Haswell CPU. Is there any way to get around that? If not, where would I be able to get that happened?

it says here: http://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z87G41_PC_Mate.html#down-... you need to have BIOS version 1.6 to make the haswell refresh cpu work. to check, see if you can boot into the bios. if you do, you probably have the right bios version. Regardless, check the bios version. If you don't reach the bios, insert a non refresh cpu and update the bios to the latest.
