It came with bios 4.00 instead of 1.20, I didn't expect this :D ]]> Sat, 18 Jan 2020 21:31:15 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13432&PID=72088&title=solvedis-it-possible-to-update-bios-without-cpu#72088 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13432&PID=71986&title=solvedis-it-possible-to-update-bios-without-cpu#71986 Author: Xaltar

I don't see a BIOS flashback feature on that board, I may have missed it in my
quick skim of the spec sheet but I don't think so. Without flashback you will
need a supported CPU to update. There is a chance the 9900k will boot though, it is
essentially the same CPU as the already supported version. I can't guarantee it but
I have seen quite a few instances of it working. If not, you can always pick up
a cheap celeron, some stores will even allow you to return it after the update. ]]> Tue, 14 Jan 2020 02:53:05 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13432&PID=71986&title=solvedis-it-possible-to-update-bios-without-cpu#71986 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13432&PID=71975&title=solvedis-it-possible-to-update-bios-without-cpu#71975 Author: kutalmismete

I ordered Z390 Phantom Gaming ITX motherboard from Newegg, but I just read stock BIOS 1.20 isn't compatible with my CPU i9 9900K R0, so I have concerned about it. Is there a way to update BIOS without finding a compatible CPU?
