guess i would be golden with this motherboard then.

I just need to download Version 7C02v1A BIOS on MSI's official website, put it on a usb stick (previously formated in FAT32) and plug the thing. Then when I will boot the PC, even without a CPU it will let me install the newer version? As easy as that?

Will I have any other issues afterwards?

ASUS boards can do that too. In fact, they did it... first. :D

Ah cool

It’s a very good idea, even tho it’s been out since 2012 ( I’ve been out of the computer hardware world for a while..)

Now I just need to pull the trigger
