compability with msi z97 motherboard and i5 4690k

GaMErZ_1 · Dec 5, 2015

i hav a msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard and want to buy a i5 4690k for it i heard that that it will not work out of the box which is a problem with me if it works let me know cuz heard u need to do a bios update i got the mobo just couple of days ago so will i get a updtaed bios ? how can i determine which bios is it.

It is compatible. You most likely will get a motherboard that will have a recent bios version that already supports the i5 4690k out of the box.

Suztera :

the manufacture date says it was made in oct 2015 so will it hav the recent bios cuz i dont want to take risk and how would i know its updated or not??

Suztera · Dec 5, 2015

It should. You won't know what bios version you have until you power it up. You could ask the retailer if they know what bios version it has but they don't always know. Chances are that it should work out of the box.

Suztera :

but is there any other processor whihc would work out of the box?

Suztera · Dec 5, 2015

The i5 4670k would work but the i5 4690k should work out of the box. You said the manufacture date was Oct 2015. The last bios update for that motherboard would be 2015-08-12.

Suztera :

so it will work right/??

GaMErZ_1 · Dec 6, 2015

so should i get a i5 4670k?

Suztera · Dec 6, 2015

GaMErZ_1 :

You will be fine with an i5 4690k.

GaMErZ_1 · Dec 6, 2015

Suztera :

but how would i know its updated bios or not and one more thing who updates the seller or msi itself?

Suztera · Dec 6, 2015

GaMErZ_1 :

The manufacturer would have updated the bios to the latest version before it was packed and shipped.
You said the manufacturer date was Oct 2015, it will have a recent bios version before Oct 2015. So it would be 12/08/2015 version 1C which is the latest.

The motherboard was compatible with an i5 4690k since June 2014. unless you got the motherboard that was manfacuted before June 2014, you will be fine with an i5 4690k.

does the manufacture update the board their self?? before they ship ??

Suztera · Dec 9, 2015

GaMErZ_1 :

Yes, they update the bios before shipping to retailers. Your motherboard is fine with an i5 4690k. You said the manufacturer date was Oct 2015.

GaMErZ_1 · Dec 9, 2015

how sure can i be

Suztera · Dec 9, 2015

GaMErZ_1 :

As much as you want.
As stated, unless you got the motherboard that was manufactured before June 2014, it will work out of the box. Any date after that, will have a bios version that will work with an i5 4690k.
