Z87 OC Formula CPU Support List. Help Needed

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a Z87 OC Formula board and I wanted to install my 4690k but it appears the board needs a bios update. I bought a Pentium G3220 which is the cheapest cpu I could find that supports all bios versions.

Here's the problem. I only just noticed there are 2 Pentium G3220's listed in the support list. All specs are the same but 1 is listed as Haswell-R and the Haswell-R is only supported from version 1.9. Is there any way of knowing which version I have before I try and install it?

	Here are the part numbers for the Haswell (non refresh) G3220: CM8064601482519 CM8064601562017 BX80646G3220 BXC80646G3220 If your CPU matches any of those it was released in 2013 and as such is not a Haswell-R. I could find no evidence of a G3220 Haswell-R CPU on either the Intel Ark site or anywhere else on the web however so I suspect it may be an error/typo on the CPU support list.
