Z87 compatiblity with Devil's Canyon

Question, if I have an older BIOS version (about to get a Z87 XPower), will I be able to boot up into the BIOS and successfully flash the latest BIOS with a Devil's Canyon chip?
The newer versions of the Z87 XPower do seem to support Devil's Canyon but I'm non 100% about what version of the BIOS is flashed onto the motherboard when I get it. Starting from AMI 1.5, it looks like the Haswell refresh are supported, but not sure if I can get into the BIOS to flash with just a DC chip? The chip is a G3258.
Should I clear the CMOS before handling the chip?
Also, are there any compatibility issues that I should be aware of? I understand that Haswell refresh and Z87 are not 100% compatible?

Haswell refresh and Devil's Canyon are 100% compatible with Z87 boards and the Z87 XPower IF a current bios version with an updated ME firmware has been flashed (either by the fab or the user). If you get a board that had been shelved before Haswell Refresh bios versions were released the board will not even post and you can not flash it yourself when trying a Devil's Canyon cpu. You'd need an older (supported) Haswell cpu then (e.g. any cheap Haswell Celeron) or contact a pc-shop to do so. If the board is at a bios version that supports Haswell Refresh but doesn't support Devil's Canyon yet you can update it yourself as it will at least post then and allow to update the bios.

Is MSI Z87-G45 compatible with Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 and TridentX ?

Hello,
I have a MSI Z87-G45 and 2 DDR3 TridentX (from 40 mm tall without heatspreader to 53mm with it) in dual channel mode.
I'd like to mount a Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 with rear air extraction, front heatsink fan, and my DDR3 in dual channel mode (slot 2 and 4). Is it compatible or will I encounter clearance issue with DDR3 ?
Thanks

I bought the Dark Rock 3 from Be Quiet and I confirm that it is perfectly compatible with both TridentX and MSI Z87-G45 but we have to sacrifice the DDR's first slot (2, 3 and 4 still available).

in the compatibility list are Z87 motherboard msi mpower max
is the same for the max ac mpower right?

And this i wonder about too.
Of course. These are identical boards except for the AC WLAN (Mpower MAX just 802.11 a/b/g/n WLAN)

That is irrelevant for the K cpus in question here as it covers the Haswell Refresh cpus without K already listed in cpu support chart.

Devil's Canyon Z97 Compatibility

There is going to be some seriously :censored:ed off people, me included, if the Z97's are not compliant for the 4670k or 4790k out of the box. I function tested the mainboard with a 4770k and had revised the BIOS to V1.2 before V1.3 was ever released, but I no longer have that CPU readily available. The board better at least POST with the 4790k to be able to set it up enough to flash the full support V1.3! The forum can expect to see plenty of others with complaints starting next week if all their brand spanky new Z97 boards won't POST with either of the Devil's Canyon CPUs. All the Z87 owners are soon to follow with their tear jerk stories begging for support BIOS's.

4770k? 72.72C is the limit, so with that one it will hit 72C, and once in a great while if the ambient is high, 74C during transitional load changes on a couple cores.
Wow just as I expected haswell is about 10C's more hotter in full load with i7 OC'ed, right Froggy? That was with the same multi and vcore?

Intel Devil's Canyon 4790k A Rebranded 4770k?

I wasn't the one to come up with this theory, but it is an interesting one to ponder. How simple and easy it would be for Intel to just improve the TIM implementation and program a higher clock frequency on a 4770k. Still a 22nm, and still the anemic 16 lanes. 20 lanes sure would have been an improvement (sarcasm). Fact or fiction? Truth or theory?

Not inconceivable. Most 4770K, just like the 3770K before can clock to 4,3 to 4,5 in turbo mode, with all voltages still in Auto. The only issue was heat. Intel knows that too well. Sandy had proper soldering and not some chemical compound that doesn't conduct. No matter what cooling you use, if the heat cannot be transferred from the inner chip to the lid, its all in vain. The only thing preventing great OC is the thermal characteristics.
So take the identical chips and package them the way that Sandy was packaged. Magic happens, not really, heat is transferred to the surface from where it can be dissipated via the heatsink, like it should. The potential of the chip is unleashed.
Wouldn't surprise me if all of a sudden these chips, which I suspect are onle repackaged 4770K, will show the 5GHz+ numbers that were achieved on air cooling with SB.
Quick win for Intel in terms of a new consumer interest in terms of OC potential. Now all you need to market with that, is how the Z97 chipset unleashes this OC potential and you have created the demand on both products. The Z87 owners will cry foul soon enough to have BIOS support for the Devil's Canyon, but only those that didn't jump onto the bleeding edge bandwagon of the Z97. If the microcode and BIOS support is perfected, then the same OC potential will exist on current Haswell boards.
Intel always releases these "special" versions towards the end of the life of a particular series.

Mail app deleted and reinstall wont open, says not compatible with OSX

i accindetally deleted my mail app and emptied the trash, when I tried to reinstall from the startup disk, it installs but wont open, saying that the version of mail is not compatible with the version of OSX (10.5.8)

The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:

I have installed Firefox4 to find it is not compatible with my version of OSX how do I get version 3.6 back or do I just give up and use Safari?

I downloaded Version 4 and installed it. At no point did it say that it was not compatible with the version of OS X that I am running (10.4.11) now that it is installed it will not open but it has already up graded from 3.6 so I have lost the lot. How can I download a version of 3.6 so that I can use it again or should I just pack up and use Safari as all I can get from your site is version 4. HELP!!!

IPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers?

iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open. So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.

Maybe. See:

I need to silently upgrade from 3.5 to 7 but get an error message after 7 install. Platform version 7.0 is not compatible with minVersion = 1.9.1

I'm trying to silently upgrade my environment to FF 7. I've gotten the silent install working great, it puts in my Proxy Server info, reassigns the home page and all that. But, the last version we pushed out was FF 3.5. If a user had that on their PC and they run the FF7 install, they get weird messages when clicking on the icon.
XULRunner: Error: Platform version '7.0' is not compatible with minVersion >= 1.9.1 maxVersion <=1.9.1
Another message they get is:

This is on Windows XP

Do you have other virtualization or security software that might protect .ini and possibly other files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and prevent Firefox from updating them properly?
You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Add management server: Setup version: 7.0.9538.0 is not compatible with database version: 7.1.10226.0

I want to add another management server to our existing SCOM environment. But whenever I run this setup on a new server I get stuck in the window for selecting the OperationsManager database. The database field stays blank and in the OpsMgrSetupWizard log
there are lines that the setup version is not compatible with the database version. But I use the same installer as when I installed the other management servers a year ago.
Maybe there is a newer setup installer? But I can't find it.

Apparently there was a newer version of SCOM setup in msdn and someone upgraded our existing SCOM environment. Downloaded the new setup, new report viewer controls and a System

I'm getting this error statement: XULRUNNER error: platform version 6.0.2 is not compatible with min etc max etc6.0.1 - what is this about and how can it be corrected?

This is what I think may have happened. The other day, Thursday Sept 8th, I shut down my pc in the middle of a Firefox upgrade. Now when I try to access Firefox on my pc, I get this error message:
XULRUNNER Error: Platform version '6.0.2 is not compatible with min Version >= 6.0.1 max Version < 6.0.1
What is this about and how can I retsore access to Firefox on my pc?

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.

Is Ipod compatible with Windows VISTA?

Hi Folks
Sorry - may have posted in the wrong discussion, but here's trying!
Read some posts on this subject before, the suggestion is not, the iPod shows up as a removable drive in VISTA but iTunes won't sync - that was RC1 and not release versions. I'm looking to upgrade from XP Pro to VISTA on my home PC (I have the media and my PC is shown as compatible so just I'm itching to make the install!) but worried I'll lose connection to my iPod from iTunes. Anyone done this yet, what was your experience?
Regards
Jay

iTunes is not 100% compatible with Vista.
The filter driver for the burning component of iTunes does not function. If you install iTunes, you will need to remove it by going to Device Manager then View -> Show Hidden Devices.
Expand Non-Plug-and-Play devices, find PxHelp20. Right click that and select Uninstall.
You may have to restart. After this, iTunes will function except for the burning component.
