No, the B85 chipset does not support 5th gen Core CPUs. I also didn't see any B85 products on the link you shared that do. The 5th Gen CPUs require an intel 9 series chipset to function, it is not possible to use an 8 series chipset with Broadwell. If Gigabyte has it listed as supported on an 8 series board then it is a typo/error. The CPU is physically incompatible with the 8 series chipset (pin compatible yes, compatible electrically no). I hope this clears things up. -------------
