Does the MSI H81M-P33 support Haswell refresh out of the box?

If it doesn't, do I need an older CPU to flash the BIOS or can I flash the BIOS with no CPU?

No, it doesn't. LGA1150 and LGA2011-3 are two different sockets.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Haswell-E as in Haswell refresh, like the 4790k, 4690k, and in my case the i3-4170.

E is extreme..

and the answer is no to refresh

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Haswell-E and Haswell Refresh are two separate things.

 

Haswell-E = i7 5820K, i7 5930K, i7 5960X.

Haswell Refresh = what you just described.

 

To answer your question, it should ship with an updated BIOS. It's unlikely it won't but you be should able to do it yourself if it hasn't been. You'll need a CPU though.

no it doesnt, and yes you'll need an older CPU to flash the bios...

some of them might because they were made after haswell refresh launched and ship with a newer version of the BIOS...but there is no guarantee.
