PcPartPicker is warning me that I may need to update the BIOS on my motherboard before it is compatible with a 9th generation Intel chip. Because of this I have 2 questions.
  1. Is this true?
  2. Is there a way to update the bios on the motherboard without needing a previous generation chip?

CPU: i5-9600k
Motherboard: MSI Z370I GAMING PRO CARBON AC Mini ITX LGA1151

Thanks! All input is appreciated!

BTW I have already contacted MSI support but I have a feeling they won't respond for a couple days...
