I've yet to order parts for my NAS, but I'm leaning towards the SuperMicro X10 motherboards. However, I've read several threads on this forum, as well as reviews, about SuperMicro X10 motherboards not booting "out of the box" when paired with 4th Gen Intel i3 processors due to the BIOS needing to be flashed to support the newer processor.

What concerns me is that some forum are not even a month old and the issue is still going on. I've read the issue for the following models:
X10SLM-F-O
X10SLM+-F
X10SLL-F
Even reviews on various sites, such as NewEgg, Amazon, etc have reviews that say the same thing.
I guess my question is, is there any way to get a board with an updated BIOS so I won't run into this problem? I'd hate to waste time by finding out I have to update the BIOS. Unfortunately, I don't have another processor laying around and I'd hate to have to buy an older generation CPU just to update the BIOS, then having to return it.
Didn't know if there was a vendor that people had success with.
