Compatibility Q87T with another Xeon...

[portvein777]

Dobriy day!
Support Asus wrote that ONLY E3-1220Lv3 (without graphics) added to last UEFI (Link)...

Where may find a BIOS with microcode of E3-1265Lv3 for MB Q87T ?


Thanks

[DeathBringer]

Latest Q87T BIOS 1001 has microcode for CPUID=0x306C3: version - 0x19, date - 02/26/2014.

Thank you for answer.
This image on what mainboard?
If on Q87T, then thank you very much, now we'll quietly without excitements buy this stone

DeathBringer, thank you for your support

@DeathBringer 

Sorry, for reopening this topic, if that is a problem please let me know.

The above list seems to be outdated most of the CPU's are not available any more, however there is a new bios also, but I cannot figure out how to extract the supported CPU's from the bios. 

I have downloaded AMIBCP and opened the new bios image, but I see nothing on the BIOS features tab, I can also not find any matching strings.

So my question is, will the new Q87T bios version 1003 (https://www.asus.com/nl/Motherboards/Q87...Desk_BIOS/) support either the:

https://ark.intel.com/products/80916/Int...e-3_50-GHz
https://ark.intel.com/products/80817/Int...o-3_40-GHz

And I'm also curious how to find it. Thank you very much!

Is it pure theoretical interest? Did you tried to boot with new CPUs?
BTW: i5-4460 is supported natively - https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Q87T/HelpDesk_CPU/ So this motherboard supports for CPUs with Haswell Refresh core.

I focused primarily on the XEON support so I missed to check the official support for the i5, sorry, so that is a good fallback.

Its a this moment theoretical, but only because I did not order anything yet, I have a Q87T running with a G1820, but I want to give it a serious upgrade. 

I'm aiming for 8 threads, but can also go for the i5 with 4 threads (good to know that that should work out of the box)

[DeathBringer]

I think that no mod is required for any CPU with Haswell Refresh core.
