I've tried flashing w/ EZ Flash to several versions 0909 or later to try and get this board to read these cpus. I have multiple boards and multiple cpus so I know everything works, they just don't work together.

I've tried running the ASUS 4th gen BIOS installer from their support page for this motherboard but it doesn't work. I only get an error message about intel management experience needing to be installed properly. I installed latest version of MEI and I still get the same error message from the BIOS updater.

I've also contacted ASUS support and they are basically useless. The guy had me trying to create a bootable flash drive for their BIOS updater (which is a windows application) but it never worked after 1.5 hours of him trying to help me...

Please help if you can and thank you in advance!
