Last night I ordered all my parts for my very first rig, including an ASRock H110M-ITX/ac and a Pentium G4560 Kaby Lake. After ordering, I realized that my motherboard may not have a Kaby Lake ready BIOS, and that I will need to update it. I've heard somewhere that the only way to update your BIOS is to own a Skylake processor. An article I read this morning from October said ASRock was readying their new motherboards to be Kaby Lake compatible when they ship, so I'm wondering if my mobo will already have the new BIOS installed. I ordered it from Vuugo Canada. I'm not spending any more money on a Skylake processor if needed, so if the board doesn't come with the updated BIOS, should I send the processor back and get a Skylake chip, or hope that the board already comes updated?

Any answers greatly appreciated!!

That's up to you.There have been several dozen posters with this same issue. None had a compatible BIOS on H110's.In a month or 2 they will all have been updated , but right now the next gen board is needed or a Skylake CPU.

Hmm... Well that's a real pain in the arse. Rather than send it back I think I'm just gonna bring it in to a shop.

Hello there,
the past week I order the same combo. The bios was 1.60v so they update it for free. Ask the seller to make the same thing for you :).Its not your fault that Asrock didn't update it...
