Hi to all.
I think the title is explicit.
As most people knows, Intel 8-Series chipsets based Motherboards will work with Haswell Refresh CPUs, just a BIOS update is needed.
I know that future Broadwell chips won't work.
I decided to build a workstation using an Intel motherboard, DH87MC, with latest Core i7 4790 Haswell Refresh CPU. Clean 4790, not 4790K.
I preferred an Intel 8-series MB rather than an Asus/MSI/etc 9-series based 'cause I use Intel motherboard for years (the oldest build is an ancient AN430TX, for Pentium MMX).
I love Intel motherboard for its clean design, without useless 3rd party chips that causes only driver issues; honestly I'm sad about the decision by Intel to leave MB market.
I'm only a small italian OEM and I know I can't change Intel decisions, but INTEL WAKE UP!
you have the resources to update the BIOS to your MBs to support your latest Haswell Refresh CPUs.
PLEASE MAKE THIS BIOS UPDATE, Intel, you are the biggest IT Company and a lot of persons bought your MBs for years (like me).
let's make this update, to honor the trust we put in you.
