So I just bought an Asus x99-A/USB 3.1 mb together with the i7 6800k. I will most likely put the parts together tomorrow but I noticed, that the BIOS preinstalled on the mb, does not support the 6800k unless I install a newer version myself. Now that I dont own one of the original supported cpus (5820k....) I am not sure how to do it.
Is it possible to boot with the officialy not supported 6800k either way and then update the BIOS?
If not I would most likely have to update with a usb stick using the flashback port provided by asus. I dont know much about it and the guides provided by asus exclude the x99-A/usb3.1 only mentioning the x99-A. Also not stating how to rename the provided .CAP files for the update.
I hope someone had a similar experience and can share some knowledge to help me out.
