We’re quite familiar with the launch of Intel’s Kaby Lake processor – the 7th Generation of Core-i processors. To be honest, we’re shocked that Intel is taking the compatibility-first route. All the 100-series motherboards from ASUS now support the next-generation Kaby Lake processors through a simple BIOS update. It’s simple, really.
As ASUS themselves has stated, “BIOS update enables support for next-gen Intel processors on compatible ASUS, ROG, Pro Gaming, Signature or TUF Z170, H170, B150 or H110 motherboards”. To update your BIOS however is really simple. By the click of a button through ASUS’s Windows-based application, the BIOS will be updated very quickly. If you’re more comfortable in using a flash drive, then it’s up to you too.
All the BIOS updates for the compatible motherboards are available in their individual product page at www.asus.com. To check the motherboards and their respective supported BIOS versions, check out this huge list by ASUS.
