" rel="nofollow - Hi! I buy an ASRock H81M-ITX and an Intel i3 4170, and it no works... I' would like to update the BIOS, but it no starts anything. Can I flash a new BIOS version without CPU? Can you help me? Many thanks!:D (I'm so sorry about my bad english...)

" rel="nofollow - Your English is fine. Above the PCIE1 slot, and again, directly above the silk screened ITX, is you BIOS chip with a sticker covering it. What is printed on this sticker? |

Well... My CPU requires, at least, the P2.00 BIOS version: Socket-----Family-----Number----------Core----------Frequency----Cache-----Power------Since BIOS 1150------Core i3-----i3-4170(C0)-----Haswell-R----3.7GHz-------3MB-------54W--------P2.00 Some motherboards can upgrade the BIOS putting the ROM file in the root of the pendrive, without CPU or RAM, only the power supply unit. :D Can I flash it with a pendrive? Or my only option to upgrade the BIOS version is buying a compatible CPU (like an Intel Celeron G1840 from $35) for flashing the BIOS? Many thanks!

You have 2 options: 1. Like you said, get your hands on a compatible CPU and update using that 2. Order a new BIOS ROM chip directly from ASRock: http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp
Beats my crappy lenovo phone for sure -------------
