I have a used Rampage IV Formula I'm attempting to build a computer around
I know I can flash my BIOS with out a CPU on this board

The issue I have is I'm pretty sure the BIOS is the old .ROM format. I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to convert to .CAP without having a CPU installed. I don't happen to have a SB-E CPU laying around, and I just dropped all my spare loot on a 4820k
 
Solution
Try downloading the BIOS converter, rename and flash it. If not working, you can order a BIOS chip on ebay and replacing the board's one.
