Currently I have the ASUS p67 pro3 motherboard. I'm running a i5 2300 Sandy Bridge right now, and just received my i5 3570k Ivy Bridge. I've gone to my motherboard page and under CPU support list it says the i5 3570k is compatible with P3.10 BIOS version. I'm still running on P1.40 So I downloaded the EXE file for the BIOS update and when I run it I get the error, "Your chipset verion on this motherboard is "B2", and due to Intel chipset limitations, B2 version chipsets do not support Intel 3rd Generation CPU (Ivy Bridge CPU), so the BIOS update process will be terminated. Thank you!"
Is there any way that I'm going to be able to use the new processor with this mobo, or do I need to return it?
