If you see...
...see the mobile skylakes releasing the end of Sept 2015, then you can suppose the desktop skylakes are not too far behind. Then the only fly in the ointment seems the K processors will be preceded by the locked cpus first.

I had a 920 at 4GHz and I didn't bother upgrading it until Haskell (4770K) and even that was only borderline worth it IMO.

The better question is why were you doing a BIOS update in Windows?

Flash drives are $5....
We ALWAYS say not to update the BIOS from Windows, for exactly this reason.

Which board is it?
You mentioned a 970 Killer earlier, but I'm only aware of a 990FX Killer and a 970 Fatality.

You can try another BIOS chip.
You need another working board to make that. I did this one time, used P5Q to flash bios chip from P5KC with enginnering version of afudos, Worked fine

Just reviving a thread to say that the i7-920 was/is a hot beast, but a beast nonetheless. I recently had troubles with it in playing Hitman 2016 with a HD6870, but instead of buying anything, I just cranked the CPU up from 2.6 to 3.7 ghz. The D0 stepping on the chip required minimal volts and this boost helps me manage until I get out of grad school and being poor in 3 months.

Way cheaper? Last time I looked it was only about $20 difference.
You get better performance for the price, Plus he said he want to OC the CPU, so its way cooler than the FX that means that he'll need to spend less on CPU cooler

You were referencing the 4690K and 6600K pricing in the post I quoted, which is what my post had context toward.
