I have this Gigabyte MB and am running a i5 4670. I recently picked up a GTX 1060 card for the system. I thought about changing the CPU to a i7 4790K. I looked on the Gigabyte site and saw it needed the F7 version for the bios, I had F6. For some reason when I updated the bios I used F8 instead. The system still worked with the i5 CPU.
I picked a i7 CPU and installed it on the MB. The computer would only boot loop. I tried to install the F7 bios but it won't let me since it is older than the F8. But the i5 CPU still worked so I figured maybe it was a bad CPU.
I asked tech support on the Gigabyte site if the F8 would work with the i7 but have not gotten an answer. Before I spend $300 on buying another i7 does anyone know if the F8 bios will work with that CPU?
Thanks.
