    That's a load of bollox. You would think newer stock would have the updated BIOS.

    It happened when ivy bridge came along, lots of mobo's with bios configured for sandybridge or earlier wouldn't boot. Lot of people ended up buying cheap sandybridge based celerons for flashing.

    I bet we will see more of this with Intel Haswell and Richland recently released.

    For example - With Richland MSI state it on the bios update procedure document that a Trinity CPU must me used. It gets better .....MSI in general don't use the a DIP8 bios chip. The chip is soldered in place so you have no choice but to use a trinity cpu should the motherboard fail to boot with the Richland cpu.

    I may start a rent-a-cpu busness :)
