Sadly yes, "chicken -> egg" for sure. While the boards are compatible no manufacturer can update the BIOS on boards that are already out of the factory and on shelves. You have 2 options: 1. Buy, borrow or steal a compatible Skylake CPU and update the BIOS then return it. 2. Get a new BIOS chip directly from ASRock preflashed with the correct BIOS version. http://event.asrock.com/tsd.asp or ASRock Tech Support contact info for those Users residing on the US.

Thank you for your quick reply The problem here is that the seller advertised it as Gen 6 and 7 compatible Should have said Gen 7 compatible with a BIOS update
