Hey guys !

I decided to take the plunge and update to a Devils Canyon i5 4690k and purchased a MSI Z87 MPOWER motherboard which was on special. I know I need to update the bios for this cpu.

I forgot to check something crucial !

Will i be able to boot into UEFI Bios and update the Bios with this CPU ???? I have only used ASUS Mobo's and they have the bios flashback feature. I'm worried i'll have this great mobo and cpu and not be able to update !!! I don't have a standard haswell cpu to use just to update the bios to support Devils Canyon.

Could someone confirm if it will boot allowing me to update via the MSI Bios flash method.

I still have time to cancel the order if need be.

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:toast:
