You can't power up a system without a compatible CPU and because 99.99% of all boards don't have a way of updating the BIOS without being powered on... No.

 

 

ALSO, WHY ARE WE YELLING?!?!??!

Writing in all caps in considered yelling online its also considered slightly rude. 

 

Now that we got that out of the way. You can always contact a local PC repair shop to see if they can update the BIOS for you. As they would most likely have a CPU to use. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

If you have both the motherboard and CPU, just test it. It won't break.

 

It's weird that this still is a problem. Should have been a way to run bios for update with. There must be alot that has had this problem through the years. Especially with AMD before Ryzen. Had the same issue when I was buying an AM3+ platform. AM3+ socket and AM3+ CPU needed a bios update, but no way of doing it without buying a cheap CPU that nobody had in stock. Sent it back, and got a Intel setup instead. Which worked since they switched sockets often so this issue was alot less likely to happend.

 

That why I ordered a Ryzen build now, and not next year.

Sorry for the few off Capital letters in my posts, it does it on its own when I Write in English, since my OS is in another Language. It's annoying.

If it's a nice retailer, you can ask them to flash the mobo before sending it. It worked for one of my friends.
