Hey so if my motherboard bios isn't up to date and i install a new cpu (for example: a z170 board (not updated bios) with a 7700k) will the motherboard lights light up? I'm not sure what's happening rn. I bought a x99 deluxe because my x99 pro gaming i7 is on rma. The motherboard lights don't light up but I'm not sure if the bios is up to date or not. Or is my cpu bork? I don't have another cpu to test

The build:

6800k

msi gtx 1080 gaming z

4x8 3200mhz g skill trident z

evga g1 750w and evga p2 850w.

I think I smelled some smoke before with my asrock board, how do I tell if something's dead?
