I ordered an Intel i7-9700k processor without realizing it was only compatible with motherboards that support 9th generation processors. The motherboard I bought is the ROG STRIX Z370-E Gaming board. I have read that this board has the correct socket to support the 9th gen but in order to make it work the BIOS has to be "flashed" with an update.
I have a USB drive ready but I'm not sure which BIOS version I need. I know it can be found on the Asus.com/support website. I just don't understand if I should be looking for just a new BIOS version for my exact motherboard, or for something else such as the ROG STRIX Z390 which supports 9th gen. I was hoping someone here has done this and can give me some advice. Thank you all for reading
