How to determine Z87-A BIOS ?

[mistercrabby]

Can someone tell me if there is a way to determine BIOS from the serial number or other clues from the motherboard?

Z87-A (refurb from NewEgg) Rev 1.02
SN: DAM0CS097388

I'm trying to find out if it will take a i5-4690K devils canyon without having to flash the bios. I don't have an older 1150 chip with which to boot into BIOS and flash it.

Thanks!

No, not without booting it. Even if it has a sticker, it's refurbished so....

You'll need to boot it, even with an older cpu. You'll see the bios version on screen very quickly during boot.
