Car: 1985 Jeep CJ7, 1997 Ford F150 Rep Power: 54    |  Can I reflash bios on a new board? Long story short, I'm doing a nearly complete upgrade because I found somebody to pay me enough money for my current stuff to make it worth it. I want to get this EVGA 680i motherboard, but it only supports the E8400 with a bios reflash. Can I reflash the bios without having a processor?

Car: Does a bicycle count? Rep Power: 47 | Short answer no, long answer yes. I believe you can do it but you'd need a EEPROM Programmer. |

Car: 1985 Jeep CJ7, 1997 Ford F150 Rep Power: 54 | so would it be easier to just buy either a different processor or just a cheap one like that.

Car: Does a bicycle count? Rep Power: 47 | Good question. I seriously have no idea if it would even boot with a unsupported CPU. Maybe someone else knows the answer. |

Car: 1985 Jeep CJ7, 1997 Ford F150 Rep Power: 54 | I did some reading. Apparently it won't post with an E8400, so I'm just going to get an E6850 instead.
