Most likely it will work but since bios cant tell what it is will reduce speed to 800MGHTZ. After the flash it will pick it up correctly. I have done my method many times and so far ( knock on wood ) it has worked every time. My 4790k needed a bios flash to work in this board had F3 on it and had to go to F6. Just flash it thru bios utility so hit delete to enter bios and at bottom it will tell you what key to press for flashing. Will turn mine off real quick and see what key it is BRB.
Mine is F8 for Q-Flash. It starts in UEFI and I hit F2 to go to classic view then I hit F8 and point it at the USB drive. Let it run till it restarts then go back into bios and hit failsafe defaults. Then restart and turn off install Hard drive and OS.
