ASRock H110M-DVS R2.0 BIOS update without having a skylake cpu

[Ilias_DaPro]

Do I need a skylake cpu to be able to update the bios to P7.30 so that I can use a kaby lake cpu with this mobo?

Yup

If you buy it new it new there is a decent chance it's already updated. Maybe you can find a computer shop to do it if it hasn't been done. Next option is buy a skylake Celeron off eBay for peanuts and fo it yourself.

That BIOS version was not released till 2-8-17 for that board so the board would have to be made after that to receive a working board for that processor.

The PC must function to update the BIOS.
My best advise is to buy a B250 board.

What's the best and cheapest mobo I can get that already has the new BIOS installed (forgot to mention that I'm on a tight budget)

I'll use the intel pentium g4560

The above board is about the lowest price and still has 4 ram slots.
