I had the same problem when I bought my X99X fatal1ty 3.1 board paired with the 6850k. It came with BIOS v1.0. I contacted support and mailed me an updated chip for free. All I had to do was show them my itinerary.

There is no way to tell on the packaging which UEFI/BIOS version is included with the board.

The direct connection for UEFI chips is via the Repair/RMA link, here:

You can purchase a new BIOS chip directly from ASRock with the correct BIOS version preflashed. I would open a support ticket with them first and explain your issue however.]]> Mon, 10 Oct 2016 01:31:39 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3565&PID=17626&title=bios-update-on-x99-with-unsupported-cpu#17626 <![CDATA[BIOS update on X99 with unsupported CPU : I&#039;m thinking of getting the...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3565&PID=17616&title=bios-update-on-x99-with-unsupported-cpu#17616 Author: silencer51

I'm thinking of getting the X99-ITX/ac, along with a Broadwell-E CPU. However it seems that the system will not even POST without the required 3.10 update. My question is, is there any way to update the BIOS with a procedure similar to Asus' Flashback? What are my options, except purchasing a Haswell-E CPU just to update the BIOS?

Do the newer boards come with the latest BIOS? Is there a way to tell from the packaging?

Thanks in advance
