Hello, About 3 months ago I replaced my mobo and CPU to a Z87 Asus Maximus Vi Hero, with an i7-4790K. I am quite the PC noob when it comes to hardware - especially MoBos. And it wasn't until 3 days ago when I tried to Steam Broadcast and I got a BSOD about the secondary processor, that I looked into BIOS. It was there that I found that an i7-4790K requires Bios 1504 to be able to boot. However, my BIOS is only 1407. Why does mine run? It's been running near perfect for 3 months now. (With the odd crash on high intensive games, but that could be down to the GPU that I had to replace.)
Should I be worried? I read that you can't upgrade the intel ME and the Bios without a non-devil's canyon CPU first, which I don't have. Is using it without the BIOS update a ticking time bomb?
Thanks in advance.
