Only one I can think of is this http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asroc...e-30-(x16)-atx

Although as for bios updating someone else will have to confirm.

In regards to supporting the i7 3820 out of the box I would suggest placing an order via telephone and asking a member of the sales team to get a board from stock and check the BIOS revision for you (ASUS print the shipping BIOS revision on the board which is helpfull) you can then determine if the BIOS on the board will work with that chip from the following list:

I've changed me mind again, going gigabyte now, hopefully a GA-X79-UD3. I just need to find out if the bios it has is compatible with my i7 3820, i think it needs bios F10 or higher?? Great price for this board at scan, with my free postage it is nearly £30 cheaper than overclockers!!
