Yes it will

So will I have to update the BIOS or something? In context to the link you sent me. Thanks for the reply tho

I doubt you will since the only version listed on that site is 0223 so likely that is the version that came with the board.

No BIOS UPDATE will should be needed board was released wih a compatible 6800k BIOS.

Damn. I already bought the PSU 🙁 ... Is it going to be a problem? or a significant issue?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Nope it's decent , but much higher quality was available at the same price and lower , rest of the build is great.

 

[Fawax]

Oh okay, that is great than.. Thanks for all the help! Much appreciated!
