Depends. Some manufacturers dont bother updating them often. It also depends on how new those mobos are, if they have been on the shelf for months they woulnt have a new bios

Pretty much this, the ones that have already been shipped to vendors for a while won't have any updates, the new ones might.

I did not research or anything but wouldn't it make sense that the LGA1150 motherboards from a store would be updated to the bios where you can use intel's devil's canyon CPUs?

 

Maybe like a new Rev [ex. Gigabye GA-z87n-WIFI (Rev 2.0)]

 

I am probably wrong 

Are you suggesting that LGA 1150 Z87 Mobos would come with their BIOS updated to support the newer Devil's Canyon CPUs?

They are often not updated but you might be able to get people who work at the hardware shop to update the bios for you.

What if they are exactly new shipping? Is there a way to know if it is updated?

Not before you run it in a system.

Affirmative and not only z87, other  ones too

I see. I'm pretty, unfortunately, sure that you'd have to update them. Stores tend to be lazy unfortunately.

without putting them in a pc, no. You could get the cheapest supported cpu and use it to update the mobo then return that cpu, but thats more effort and imo you are better off just ordering a z97 board

How it usually works is motherboard manufactures update the BIOS on the production line once a new one is release. A prime example is my A85X Extreme6 came out of the box with the 2.10 BIOS. Which is a BIOS revision that came out 7 months after the initial BIOS. In which added Richland support so it was a good thing for my A10-6800k.

I requested it from AMD and they sent me it for free along with the rest of my signature build (minus the GPU which came from Puget Systems). Usually you won't know what BIOS revision the board has until you look for yourself. As there's tons of stock mixed up everywhere around the world. Your very own local retailer may have the same exact boards but with different BIOS revisions. It's really like winning the silicon lottery that you get one with a later BIOS.

So AMD gave you a free board, Tell me how you email them or request something
