But will it post with the kaby chip without the update? I don't have a skylake chip....Originally Posted by Cakewalk_S
Do the bios update if you don't have the latest and pop the new chip in....
I didn't have an issues flashing my bios when I had an ASRock back in the day...
7.10 looks to be the latest.
Thanks. Yeah I have a few ideas. I used to work at an electronics re-seller....Might get in touch with them. I used to test motherboards all day hopefully they still have my box O' CPUs.Originally Posted by done12many2
What installing a KBL CPU does when booted with an older SKL BIOS varies between the boards manufacturers, but one thing is for sure, you need that update prior to POSTing. I've heard of some folks getting as far as errors registering, but for most it just turns off or boot loops.
Have you given thought to finding out if anyone on OCN with a SKL chip is remotely close to you and willing to help? I'd definitely help you if you were within reasonable distance.
Try other forms of social media and maybe posting on Craigslist as well.
I'd hate to see you buy a SKL chip just to get that thing started.
Good luck!

Nice!
Worse case and if you can't find one, I might be able to help you out by mail.
Good luck and let me know if I can help.
Well If I get a working machine I will let you know. I would assume since its fully supported with the BIOS update.Originally Posted by MadOver
I wonder if those Hyper B150 also overclock the newest CPUs, I mean should be no problem as its same tech thing.
