I'm planning to get a core i5 4690k for my new build, and have heard that it isn't compatible with some z87 chipset motherboards. Is this true?

 

BTW if anyone was interested, here's my planned build:http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/tHQZCJ

it is compatible with z87 but you need a bios update.

it's somewhere in the bios i suppose. to avoid the hassle, i'd just go with a z97 motherboard.
