Hi All,

Been thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these puppies:
Gigabyte Z97X Gaming G1 WiFi Black Edition
But am wondering if it will ship with the lastest bios so that it recognizes the 4790k straight off the bat.
I dont want to end up buying a cheap celeron chip just to boot!
Should I get no firm answer will prob buy the Asus Formula VII z97 board as their bios flash utility requires no chip or mem unlike Gigabyte`s for the Z97.
I know Gigabyte have since copied Asus and introduced quick-flash but thats only implemented for their x99 mobos

Any ideas?
 
Thanks for letting me know. BTW do you work for over clockers? I'm not prying just interested by what authority u seem so sure about this. Apologies if I have sounded condescending.
 
Thanks for replying and think I will buy it next week as the gigabyte board is currently going quite cheap. Absolute bargain I'd say!

BTW bought the mobo and it shipped with the F3 bios which thankfully recognised the 4690k.
Have to say what a peach of a mobo it is, not one BSOD. OCed ti 4.5 [email protected]. runs like a dream. Got my velociraptors in raid 0 and plextor ssd m6 pro is doing marvels!
One small gripe is that the onboard sound via headphone socket has massive hiss/crackling but as I use a headphone dac this is not a prob. I suspect the op-amp is the suspect but I can easily swap it out as this is a prime featureof the mobo.
Overall def faster and more responsive than my sandybridge system
My build so far:
