Mobo BIOS Update?

Go to solution Solved by i_build_nanosuits,

no one knows it depends how long this particular motherboard you'll get has spent in a warehouse somewhere...no way to tell what BIOS version it's running out of the box.

Get an H97 board instead or go with a non refresh haswell CPU.

Also stick with recognized brands such as ASUS msi gigabyte or ASrock.

I've never built a PC before and I was wondering if when I use a Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor and a ECS B85H3-M(1.0) Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard , will the motherboard need a BIOS update? Anyone that has this pair or knows please help me.  :D Here is the PC list I forgot it. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/swagswagswagswag/saved/Lb6KHx

To use the system? I doubt it. But it may have an AVAILABLE BIOS update.
