GA-Z87-DS3H Haswell Refresh Support
« on: June 03, 2014, 05:58:17 am »
Got the M/B 3 months ago and got the CPU a week ago.

They all say it is supported, but on the supported CPU list, it is not....

I haven't opened the CPU yet but I wanted to make sure it works before I try this out. I've heard that I'd probably need to get an older Haswell to flash the BIOS, but I'm ready to begin building my rig.

Just flash BIOS F2 (if is not already on board)....... http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_ga-z87-ds3h_f2.exe

Seems that CPU Support List is not updated.
If you need,I have also F3c beta BIOS.

I just got this board with a new 4790K but the m/board shipped with the F1 I THINK  :'( as all I get is a non P.O.S.T.ing boot-lop >:(.
My question is would it be possible to send it to Gigabyte to flash the F2 f/w for me on this m/board.
EDIT: I've sent eMail to returns dept.
