anyone's familiar with that?

You will need to flash the BIOS. On ASUS that's easy, you don't even need the CPU or the RAM to flash the BIOS.

awesome thanks!

You can easily call ASUS and ask, as well.

/e I own like 6 ASUS motherboards. About 4-5 years ago, ASUS switched to the ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3, which is as I explained above.

All the newer Asus Sabertooth X99 are flashed for Broadwell-E. Didn't have to flash mine.
