My advice would be to try and find a shop who'll do that for you without needing the skylake...or maybe one of your friends or a family member could help you do it?

 

2nd world country only 2 shops around and one of them doesn't reply if you bring up this topic. Wonder why..

I have a Asus H110m-K Mobo and a kaby lake CPU and as you know it doesn't support it without a BIOS update. So the problem is how do I update my BIOS? I'm screwed. I don't have a skylake CPU and the shop I bought it only updates it for me if I have one and they ask money for it! Any ideas on what I should do?

Return board and get a B250.

Buy the cheapest CPU you can find that'll do the job, update the bios (or have the shop do it if you're worried about bricking it) and then sell the cheap CPU.


Or, ask the shop if they'll do the update free or at a cheaper price if you let them keep the cheap CPU afterwards as part of the deal.

I hate this. They are like saying to everyone how if you end up getting a board that has an older BIOS they gonna update it for free bla bla bla and when I get it it's a big F**K YOU. Wouldn't be that bad if they did it without me having to bring a Skylake.. Sigh.

Who told you they'd update it for free? The shop who are asking for money and a Skylake to update it with?

There is a comment section under every part you can comment there and ask questions they will answer. I criticized them for this and my comment got deleted lmao just noticed.
