do you think they will? like maybe its too new or something like that?
could i download a bios update for that motherboard from another site?
can i somehow backup the bios in it right now and upload it somewhere?

Fingers crossed you have an AMI or Award bios , not phoenix because you can use this tool to backup your bios and post it

However , this tool DOES backup phoenix bioses but they are not flashable afterwards - so hope you have Award/Ami

I see lotsa hidden goodies, but it's wiser to have 1234s282 do the unlocking, as I'm unaware which of them can cause a bad flash.
ok so do i PM 1234s282 or what do i do to get him involved?
and can you guys also upgrade the supported cpus becaseu im thinking about putting in an i5 or i7 sometime soon
and i want to be able to overclock like the ram and everything that can be unlocked should be

the current bios already supports I5 and I7 Processors.
Better check to see if the bios chip is socketed.. or we cant help you fix a bad flash.

thats awesome that it supports i7 and i5 i didnt think it did idk why though
how do i check if its socketed? and what does socketed mean? it means that its removable?
and has it already been modded?

ya removable. chip is ether soldered to board or in a socket. most newer boards are socketed.. but some are not.
