Hello! I am in the process of building my gaming PC and currently have the AsRock Extreme4 z370 motherboard, The problem i am having is getting the right CPU i originally wanted the i7 9700k but according to a certain website it was not compatable or needed a Bios update. As my pc is not setup yet still been built I am unsure what BIOS version i have and what CPU I can actually run straight out the box with no update. The only way I can tell is by looking at the board, can anyone give me some recommendations on what CPU to run please? Or if i can run the i7 9700k. Thanks. |

| Thank you, can I use a chip for an older BIOS? Will a P1.60 still work in my P1.80 board. |

The cpu can run on any bios file that supports it. Get the cheapest cpu off that list It will work to flash to the version you need. ------------- Asrock Z370 Gaming K6,Intel i7 8700K, Asrock x570 Taichi |
