So I was looking here http://www.dvhardware.net/article60298.html and saw that it should support the haswell refresh cpus, I also Looked up cpu support for it and saw that it does support it since "F2" bios. Im just wondering if that F2 bios is the shipping bios for it and i wont have to do a bios update to support the refresh cpus.

"Shipping bios" may depend on when your motherboard left the factory/hit the retail channel and how long it has been on the shelf at the retailer. You can look on the barcode label on the side of the box it ships in to see what BIOS level the board is at.

Sorry to re-do this thread. The motherboard box has 3 bar-code stickers, 1 says upc , 1 is the full model name any S/N, and the other looks like the store one. None of them(from what I can see) shows the bios level/version it shipped at.

Judging by this: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4664#bios
and this: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4664

would you say that it shipped with F7 ? since thats the only one there aside from F8, and it says all the haswells including the refresh are supported by F7 ??

Thanks if you can help.
