So I just bought an i5 7400 cpu with an msi H110m Pro-VD Plus mobo and got everything assembled. I can't get it to post becasue I'm in need of a bios update. Is there any way to go about updating bios without having to buy a 6th gen cpu or sending back the mobo for something that's updated out of the box? I'd really like to get this up and running today if I can.

Either buy an extremely cheap Skylake CPU, update the bios and return it, or...

I'm just realizing that I should have went with a different board to begin with. Just wanted to see if there was a way I could make it work before I send stuff back. Thanks for the feedback.
