Asus has officially released BIOS updates that bring Ivy Bridge-E support to its LGA2011 motherboards.
Asus has released its official new BIOSes for its LGA2011 motherboards, and within these updated BIOSes is support for the new Ivy Bridge-E CPUs. The updates are available for the following motherboards, with the corresponding BIOS number listed:
- 4301 - P9X79 LE
- 4301 - P9X79
- 4301 - P9X79 Pro
- 4301 - P9X79 Deluxe
- 4401 - ROG Rampage IV Extreme
- 4401 - ROG Rampage IV Gene
- 4402 - ROG Rampage IV Formula
- 4309 - TUF Sabertooth X79
The updates can be installed in two ways: either through the use of an older CPU or through the use of Asus' USB BIOS Flashback feature in case a non-Ivy Bridge-E isn't available. The BIOS updates are available here or through Asus' Support Site.

New microarchitecture will need a new motherboards. Motherboards will be updated to support die shrinks versions of a microarchitecture.
