the i7 4770 should work out of the box, the i7 4790 on the other hand would probably require a bios update

Hi all, I'm looking to buy an LGA 1150 system however I've seen that some motherboards need a BIOS update before they can be used with certain chips.

 

Asus H81M-PLUS

i7-4770

 

That is the combo I'm looking at buying, if possible could someone please tell me if I need to buy a cheap 1150 Pentium just to update the BIOS or if I'll be fine and they'll work together straight away.

Thanks in advance.

Put in your motherboard and it should show you on what BIOS revisions certain CPU's work.
