It is not listed as being supported. Only one CPU with a 77 watt Thermal Design Power rating is listed as supported and it isn't the i5-3570.

The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of heat generated by a computer CPU that the cooling system in a computer is designed to dissipate in typical operation.

Lack of support for processors with the 77 watt TDP means that the CPU puts out to much heat for the motherboard.

Buy a different motherboard or settle with the fastest CPU it supports. Which is the 65W i7-3770S. Make sure it has the S on the end. That is the low power variant of the i7-3770. You can also run the i5-3570S and i7-2600S.

Also you will need to update the BIOS before installing any Ivy Bridge CPU (3000 series).
