Which board for 6800K CPU

Going crazy looking at reviews of motherboards. Main concern is the bios. It appears a lot of boards have old bios and wont post if you put a 6800K CPU into it , so you cant update bios and either need to change the bios chip or send board to get it update . I DONT WANT that happening. I will be rebuilding my ancient Q6600 quad core , so I don't want to get stuck with a motherboard I cant use for a week or longer. The 6800k used the LGA 2011 v3 socket.

This is not a gaming machine its main purpose video editing. I don't want to spend a fortune on the motherboard with features I just don't need or care about. Don't need sli wont use raid don't need wifi.

Any opinions?
 
The ASUS X99-A II or X99-Deluxe II has very stable BIOS and highest performance for video editing. You can even put RGB strips to make your desktop look nice while doing video editing. 😎
 
+1 for X99A II.

I've had it for several months now with 6800K and 64GB of RAM. Asus updates its UEFI once a month or so. All has been fine with this mobo.
