Hi all I am in the process of building my gaming pc and I am stuck on cpu compatability, I have the Asrock Extreme 4 Z370 board and wanted to run a i7 9700k I know itll work but it will need a BIOs upgrade the problem is i dont have a spare CPU to install and update it so I am looking to buy a cheap one just for the update.
Im not sure what version my bios is all i know is on the motherboard its showing P1.80, the CPU i am looking to buy for the upgrade according to the asrock website is for BIOS versions P1.60 (Intel Celeron G4920) can anyone tell me if this cpu will work on my motherboard straight away without any upgrades?
