I need to update my bios? (new CPU)

[deewfrank]

Hi, i purchased a i5 4590 @3.2GHz and a Z97 MATE 1150 board, but idk if i need to update the bios to use with my cpu or not 🙁 because i dont have any other 1150 cpu to update...

PD: Sorry for my english, im from Chile, thanks
PD2: CPU and MB arrives in the next 2 days.

Hello deewfrank,

No, you shouldn't need to update the BIOS on the Z97 to install and use the new CPU.

thanks for the reply

PD: Is a good combination? (i pick up Z97 MATE from a user because i find too cheap)

Very good CPU, passable motherboard. I'm not crazy about MSI motherboards, but the Z97 MATE has gotten very solid reviews and should be a fine pair with the i5-4590 (especially if you got it at a good price 😉).
