LGA1150 MOBO for Haswell Refresh (i5-4460)

Closed

Anyone knows a MOBO for the i5-4460 that supports it by default without the need to upgrade the Bios ?

I'm asking cus I wanted to get Asrock B85 Pro4 but it turned out that this mobo supports Haswell Refresh from bios version P2.0. H87 Pro4 supps them from P1.90

Anyway, the thing is that as I searched, mobos for LGA1150 are sold with older Bios versions. And cus of that, I will end with CPU that won't work. And I cant upgrade the Bios myself because I dont own any standard 1150 CPU (like standard Haswell). Thus I need to buy a MOBO that supports Haswell Refresh by default

Any ideas for such MOBO ?

H97/Z97 will support the Haswell Refresh chips by default. Preferably H97 since i5-4460 isn't overclockable.

Gigabyte's GA-B85M-DS3H is the cheapest one I know of.

As people have previously stated, the ASRock H97 is great, as well as the ASRock Z97

Thanks for answers. Shame that the Z97/H97 MOBOS are more expensive than B85 ones :(
