Can I Use the ASUS TUF Gaming B760-PLUS WiFi with an i7-14700KF Right Away?
Asked by

I'm building a PC with an Intel i7-14700KF and pairing it with the ASUS TUF Gaming B760-PLUS WiFi motherboard. I noticed that ASUS mentions support for 14th-gen CPUs starting from BIOS version 1205. The issue is, I have no idea what BIOS version the motherboard comes with out of the box. Has anyone managed to run a 14th-gen CPU on this motherboard right after unpacking it, or should I be prepared to perform a BIOS update beforehand?

I’ve got a B660G, and I had to update the BIOS to get my 14th gen CPU working. Honestly, it wasn’t a hassle at all—pretty straightforward process!

It's a bit of a gamble. Just because someone upgraded their board doesn't mean yours comes with the same updated BIOS. It’s a smart move to pick a board that supports BIOS flashback so you can prep a USB boot just in case you need it.

It should work out of the box, but why risk it? Go ahead and update the BIOS before you install the OS. Better safe than sorry!

CautiousCoder99: Keep in mind that BIOS flashback won't work post-update. You'll likely get a warning about that.
