Ivy Bridge E i7 4930k

Hi all,
My question is will the intel i7-4930k cpu work in an Asus Rampage extreme IV (not black edition)?
Currently, I have an i7-3820 sandy bridge E and works fine but want more speed. Also, thinking I would wait a bit until the Devils Canyon cpu comes out and would hope a price drop on the other cpu's
Anybodies thoughts?
Thanks in advance

It will work yes, but you have to update the BIOS to the latest version ; do this with your 3820 in and then change CPU would be my advice. Of course the RIVBE is slightly more optimized for IB-E than the RIVE but performance will be virtually the same I guess. The anniversary stuff from Intel sounds good!

Devil's Canyon won't affect IB-E prices, considering it's the Haswell refresher CPU line.

it wont affect any prices at all, not to mak them cheaper anyway, intel just put a nice name and charge a premium price for the same cpu
