I'm purchasing components for my initial PC and I'm unsure which motherboards fit an i5 6500 right away without updating BIOS. If not, can I update or modify the BIOS without installing the CPU?

Looking for motherboards that work with the i5-6500? It’s unlikely most options will fit right away without any adjustments.

All 100 and 200 models work seamlessly with the Intel 6000 series processors right away. The 100-series units featuring 7000 series chips may require a BIOS upgrade later, though it's unlikely at this point.

Only a few 100 and 200 series boards appear in the 300 series listings.

They've already connected those components. The link provided points to a motherboard selection page.
