this is link for my motherboard on asus support :

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97DELUXEUSB_31NFCWLC/HelpDesk_Download/


I tryed both BIOS versions (0401 and 2401) but problem is same, I do not see many options in BIOS for this processor which should be there (as I see from many reviews).

2401 is newest offered BIOS version by Asus at this moment on thirs site, as you can see on link.

for example, there is no L4 cache multiplier option. BIOS even shows L4 cache as "not supported" ?!?

what is problem there? is BIOS see this CPU as 4 gen at this moment ??

there is also other versions of Z97 Deluxe motherboards :
Asus Deluxe Z97
Asus Deluxe Z97 USB3.1
Asus Deluxe Z97 (NFC&WLC)
** my motherboards is Asus Deluxe Z97 USB3.1 (NFC&WLC). I note this to avoid confusion as motherboards names is similar.

Asus Deluxe Z97 have newest BIOS 2602 available.

can I try BIOS from other Deluxe motherboards? 2601 or 2602 ? all these motherboards is very similar, I suppose that maybe this confusion is up to Asus web site, but I'm afraid to risk to use other BIOS on expensive board :(

** for other boards, 2401 was also offered before, you can easily see that in links.


HELP :)


 
Solution
I had speak with Asus via Live Chat and they suggested 2602 BIOS. I was right, that was mistake on their site.

but you can't load 2602 as it is not for this board and you can't even start uploading 2602.

than I uploaded 2601 and it works, and now shows 128MB of L4 cache.

CPU is I7-5775C
