Ivy Bridge + P67 questions

I recently blindly purchased this motherboard here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813188073

Without realizing that p67 is predominately a second gen chipset. Will an i5 3570 work with the above stated motherboard? I have not checked if BIOS upgrades would help.

Pretty sure any Ivy Bridge processor will work with Socket 1155 motherboards.

That motherboard doesn't work with Ivy Bridge sorry. Sandy Bridge only.

It would work if EVGA would release a bios update to support Ivy Bridge but they have not done so and will not do so either. The last BIOS update for this board was about a year ago.

In short: It's a piece of junk & word to the wise, stay the fuck away from EVGA motherboards nothing but shit.

I suggest ASUS. I have received nothing but quality from them, be it monitors or computer components.

I also like ASUS obviously as my last two motherboards were by them :)

If you look at my blizzard build, that was my original choice. An asus board. I bought this one due to the discount.

I'll have to agree, ASUS is probably your best choice.
