Hello, I will probably buy an ROG STRIX Z270E GAMING, but I've heard that I need to update BIOS for it to work with I7-7700K? Or is it good to go? Thanks
 
Solution
No, not on a Z270 board. Some Z170 boards require a bios update before they can support kaby lake chips but not Z270. Also you may be able to save some money going with the Z270F instead, its the same board as the Z270E except the Z270E has a wireless card whereas the Z270F does not.
