According to this page -- https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-B250-FinTech-rev-10#support-cpu that CPU is not supported by any BIOS version on that motherboard. That might be an error on the motherboard webpage since Intel says the B250 chipset is compatible.
Other G45xx CPUs have been compatible since the first BIOS release. This is very odd. I don't recommend motherboard/CPU combos that aren't listed as compatible. An e-mail go Gigabyte support or a post on THEIR forum might be worthwhile before purchase.
