Devil's Canyon compatibility issues

[VioletArcade]

Hello

 

I am a bit confused if the new Devil's Canyon Intel i7 4790k would work on a Z87 motherboard, in my case the ASUS Maximus VI Impact

 

Websites such as PC Part Picker suggest a bios update and Amazon saying the CPUS are not compatible with Z87 boards. 

 

Thanks

Yes it's socket 1150

They're compatibel as far as i know

Most Z87 boards should work with a bios update.

It will work with an updated BIOS. Make sure you do that before installing the CPU.

I think it was something like the new devils canyon was 185 TDP, and boards spec is actually 180 tdp. But its rare to build only to spec, and no headroom, and with a high end board, you should be more then fine. Its some cheap 30$ boards that barely work to begin with, those might not work.

Download the bios updater and the latest bios (v.1505) and you should be set.

Thanks, so should I download this to a USB and put it into the motherboard with the CPU inside?

I flashed mine via EZ Flash when the system was off, however you may need to do it differently since it says to use the utility.
