Running Kaby Lake on a Gigabyte GA-H110M-H?

[Dater]

So I bought that MoBo and it can't detect the CPU. I need to update the BIOS, but I've read that you need another CPU for that and I'm out of money, this MoBo, as far as I know it's not compatible with the Gigabyte Q-Flash. How can I upgrade it, flashing it?, is it risky?

My CPU is the Pentium G4600.

Call Gigabyte and tell them to update the BIOS for you or return the CPU and buy the Skylake version.

Gigabyte's documentation says the board supports Q-flash.

 

I would still return the board on principle as it's pretty much garbage in every way, though.

How could I do it by myself.. and I can't return anything because the return feature expired in Amazon

You can't update the BIOS yourself unless you have a Skylake CPU installed.

A lot of reasons, but the most apparent being as such: though the board is electrically supportive of x16 on the pcie slot, the processor can only access 4 of them on that chipset. You're gimping the limited expansion you have.

I'm not doubting you. I meant that other brands don't have features like Q-flash.

MSI has M-flash and Asus has EZ flash/Flashback. Everyone has their own version of everything at this point.

It won't affect that much the overall performance. It's gonna be the G4600 and a 1050ti, it will still run, ahmm idk..  BF1 in ultra at about 50-60 fps

You'll be running a 1050ti on pcie 2.0 x4. Even if it won't effect performance more than 15% at most, its still a crime against humanity.

*Facedesk*

 

The CPU has 16x 3.0 lanes, the Chipset gives up to x6

2.0.

 

That's why most H110 mobos have 1 16x slot and 1 4x slot.
