I finally got around to building this motherboard with a xeon E5-2630V2 CPU. The problem is it wont POST, no video output from onboard VGA. Asus Tech Support told me that the BIOS on the motherboard needs to be updated before the V2 CPU will POST. I appear to be stuck as I don't have access to a V1 CPU. Is there anything I can do? Do I need yet another motherboard? If so, what dual cpu motherboard will support the E5-2630V2 and DDR3 1600 ECC UDIMM memory that I just bought?

Thank you,I just ordered that CPU! And I had no idea Asus service center could flash it, they never offered the service when I had them on the phone...
 


There was a cheaper option.
