Hello, my i7-7700k cpu just arrived. I own a msi z170a sli and I'm having a hard time getting it to boot. I've tried updating the bios through flash, but it didn't seem to work. I downloaded the version 7998v3B at https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-SLI. Im thinking I used the wrong version because version 3.9 states that it supports next generation cpu. I haven't tried that version since I got frustrated and didn't want to mess up my computer. Also, since I didn't say before, Im using an i5 6500 and this chip boots up fine.
Help with booting i7 7700k
