Those UEFI versions for X99 boards were released in late April, 2016, and the chance of you getting a board with that version is very small. The UEFI version will be on a sticker on the UEFI chip. The Broadwell-E compatible UEFI version for your board (assuming it is not the Fatal1ty X99 Professional/3.1 model) is 3.10. Unfortunately, this problem has not been addressed by Intel. This is the same situation with X79 boards and the Ivy Bridge-E processor UEFI/BIOS update. It is possible to to replace the UEFI chip with one that has the appropriate version. You can get those from ASRock for $15, or purchase them from places like eBay. You can contact ASRock about this here: http://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=RMA |
So you say that if i buy the Fatal1ty X99 Professional/3.1 i wont have any problem with that cpu ? no need to update the bios because it comes with the latest Bios 3.10 which supports Broadwell-c cpus out of the box?
can we say that for all usb 3.1 versions of the asrock x99 motherboards?
or the other way to update the bios is finding the cpu from broadwell series to update the Bios right?
thx in advance
