Question 1

Does this board support 13th Gen CPU out of the box?

Accepted Answer

Chances are you will need to update the BIOS first since the board was probably manufactured before the release of the 13 gen CPUs. I know this from first hand experience. This board does not have the USB Flashback feature so you will need to get the build to post to update the BIOS....which means you will need to first install a 12th gen CPU to get the build to post and then update the BIOS, After BIOS update install the 13th gen and chances are all will be good. There may be other options to update the BIOS such as RMA the board to ASUS or take it to a computer tech who has a 12th gen CPU.
