MSI H97 Gaming 3 4790K Support
#1
Hello all. I recently had a client's Z97 motherboard fail so we bought a used MSI H97 Gaming 3. Problem is the client has an i7 4790K Cpu and for some strange reason this motherboard supports all cpus, including 4690K and 4790 non-K but not 4790K. I confirmed it by checking the motherboard's Cpu support list and 4790k is missing, while 4790 non K is supported. Tried to upgrade the microcodes on the latest bios E7918IMS.1B0 and flash it, but 4790k didn't post. I suppose it takes more than a microcode upgrade to get this cpu working and i don't have that level of knowledge. I wonder if someone can help me. I attach the modded bios with the upgraded microcodes. Thanks in advance.

This is the link for original unmodded bios.

Done. This is the output. I don't see anything different.

Now you can try to install your i7-4790K.
Your motherboard has native support of this CPU - https://valid.x86.fr/sy3nx2
