Hi,
Is it possible to start a BIOS update to F20 with the new Broadwell-E allready installed ?
Because i dont have a CPU yet, have i to buy a Haswell-E first for the BIOS update or not...
thanks in advance

Antwort:
Sehr geehrter Herr XXXXXXX,
Vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage.
Wir freuen uns über Ihr Interesse an Produkten von GIGABYTE.
Es muss vor Einsatz der Broadwell –E CPU das aktuelle Bios (F20) mit einer Haswell –E installiert wurden sein.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Ihr GIGABYTE-Team

If you have the board already. Then find a Shop that can update it for you. It might cost a 1/8 to a 1/4 of what you are going to pay for a CPU. That is what I would do. If you don't have the board yet. Then see if the place you are getting it from and see if they will update it for you.
