Wow it was great to deal with @tapankunu as he assembled the Intel i5-4690K with Mobo Asus Z97 Deluxe on his system. Initially he encountered problems with the "intel management engine interface" and we got into lengthy conversations yesterday (on phone and whatsapp) to resolve these issues...... which ultimately got down to updating the BIOS .... however this turned out to be not so easy (see below)
Note: The Asus Z97 Deluxe motherboard was released with 3 variants for (US, India/Asia & rest of the world) and I did not have the original box with me! So how to resolve ?
As it turned out I was amazed at @tapankunu 's ingenuity & skills - he used a Bios Flash Tool first and then later successfully updated the BIOS for the correct variant of the motherboard.
I also learned later that it's his personal interest to do R&D on different gens of motherboards - which I was really impressed.
Glad to have made another new friend on @TechEnclave and getting to know him personally.
