Subject: X79 Bios Update to use 4820k Ivy-E?

Ask your MicroCenter if they can service the PC for you, installing a Sandy Bridge-E CPU so the Sandy to Ivy UEFI update can be applied.
However you get that done, be absolutely certain that the 3.00 UEFI/BIOS is applied to the board. Do NOT skip the 3.00 version! The UEFI versions following version 3.00 do NOT contain the update that allows the use of an Ivy Bridge-E CPU. If you are told otherwise, that is wrong!
You must also install the Ivy Bridge compatible INF/Chipset files and Intel IME software in order for everything to work correctly.
