6900k out of the box BIOS version support?

Dirty_Sprite · Jan 5, 2017

can somebody tell me whether or not this motherboard >> https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/GvnG3C/asrock-motherboard-fatal1tyx99xkiller31 has out of the box support for an i7 6900k?

If it doesn't instructions on how to update BIOS via flash drive would be good.

Thanks

if it comes with "P3.00" firmware then yes if not you will need to update it.
But yeah it does support that cpu

You can also ask from the retailer to make sure the board will come with the latest bios or even if they can update it once they get it.
