i know this is cheeky but after 3 weeks of constant messing about , from the suplyer , i now have my new rig. unfortunatly the mobo's bios dosn't recognise the cpu (i7-4930k) due to outdated bios.
i could continue to wait for the suplyer to 'fix' the problem, which would most likely involve sending the mobo to the suplyer who would test that it never worked (3-5 days) , then send it to msi to get the flash done (3-12 weeks), back to suplyer , back to me - alpha and beta missed. yet it is only a quick job (3 hours tops , and i an being very generous).
so i am wondering if anyone has a spare (or temporairaly spare) cpu i could 'borrow' to do this. admitedly i dont know which chips will work, other than the older the generation the better.
the mobo is an MSI , model X79A-GD65 (8D)
here is the mobo's compatable cpu list
also i have added colour for ease of compatableity by bios
V1.0 so will definatly work
1.4 probably will work
1.5 should work
1.6 might work
1.8 unlikly to work
4.3+ not working , i got one of these
I7 cpu
4960x , 4930k , 4820k , 3970x , 3960x stepping c1 , 3960x stepping c2 , 3930k step c1 , 3930k step c2 , 3820
xeon cpu
e5 2697v2 , e5 2690 , e5 2687w , e5 2680 , e5 2670 , e5 2660 , e5 2650L , e5 2650 , e5 2643 , e5 2630 , e5 2620 , e5 1650 , e5 1620
