gigabyte z87x-ud3h compatible with i5-4590?

[ajrunke]

Hi,

I recently bought a new i5-4590 processor and a refurbished gigabyte z87x-ud3h from TigerDirect. I am having issues with it not booting. The motherboard powers up and the CPU fan attempts to spin however the system shuts down almost immediately. It then continues to cycle on, off, on indefinitely.

I've done all the ram checks. I've rechecked all my connections.

I've also swapped the PSU for a known working one and the issue still persists.

After doing research, I read that some boards need their BIOS updated to accept Haswell Refresh CPU's. Could that be my issue? If so, I was going to return the gigabyte z87x-ud3h and buy a Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H

Would the MOBO I plan on purchasing be ready for my CPU out of the box?

Thanks!

If you want to ensure out-of-the box compatibility with haswell refresh, you need a 9x series Mobo. Almost all 8x series were manufactured prior to the release and will need a bios update.

Intel Core i5-4590 3.30GHz 6MB 350 MHz / 1250 MHz Haswell Refresh 22nm C0 84W 100 F9

you need bios revision F9 for that chip

still the guy above is wrong you got to check the boards cpu list to see what bios supports what chip every time and if mail ordering you must concider the board will be shipped with a first release bios if nothing else and plan for that

if you look at newer boards as he says you will see some chips still need a newer bios over first release

The gigabyte z87x-ud3h has to have bios F9 in order to run the i5-4590. The Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H has to have bios F12 in order to run the i5-4590

you could all ways buy the cheapest chip that's supported under the bios your boards got on it now in order to flash to the bios you need for the chip you want to run ??? [best just flash the latest if flashing ]


with out knowining what you board has on it and going by gigas list f7 is the bios it should have [ ???] so this chip will /should work to boot to flash

unless you can find cheaper ??


or you could just rma the chip you got and trade it for a 4670 ? it should work right out of the box on that ???

So, how do I update my gigabyte z87x-ud3h bios since I can't even boot the computer? I don't have access to another CPU that doesn't require an updated bios.

I just told you above how to and that's all there is to it

don't feel bad I been here when I did not know better , but you now know better next time , right ?

sometimes we have to go to the school of hard knocks

 

[junkeymonkey]

thing is do you even know what bios its got on it now ?? should be a sticker on the board or on the box ?? cause its still a mystery and your still guessing

I would like to know what about my statement you consider to be wrong. The Z97 and H97 chipsets were launched in conjunction with the haswell refresh cpus to include OOTB support for them. The CPU compatibility list at gigabyte shows that 4590 is compatible with all Z97 and H97 chipset mobos from launch. There are listings of bios versions ranging from F1 to F3 depending on the motherboard but when you look into each one, the listed compatible bios is the first bios that shipped with each board. They do not require an update to be compatible with the 4590.

The OP asked what mobo he could exchange his current one for that would provide OOTB support for his cpu and I still stand behind my statement that he needs a 9x series board if he wants to ensure OOTB support.

go look

like here

Intel Core i7-4790K 4.00GHz 8MB 350 MHz / 1300 MHz Haswell Refresh 22nm C0 88W 100 F6

f6 well your board now shipped with the f4 . so now what ??

lets hear it ?? don't look like all to me ???

[jcaulley_74]

And he didn't ask about a 4790K he asked about a 4590, there aren't any boards on gigabytes list that were not compatible with the 4590 on release

 

[junkeymonkey]

that's not what you stated

'' you want to ensure out-of-the box compatibility with haswell refresh, you need a 9x series Mobo''

anyway the thing is all ways expect the board to have the first release bios unless stated /r known . otherwise ..
that all your guaranteed to get
