First of, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section.
I've got a couple of questions. I've read that Ivy Bridge CPUs aren't compatible with p67 motherboards. Is that true? More specifically, are ASRock p67 performance fatal1ty and Intel i5 3750k compatible? And if they aren't, is there any way around it?
I've heard something about flashing your BIOS, but I'm not sure I understand how to do that. Do I flash my BIOS before inserting the new motherboard (p67 performance fatal1ty) or after inserting it? Where do I find the correct BIOS? Can somebody please explain in layman terms?
I'm sorry if it's too much questions, but I'm not exactly savy and I don't want to mess up my first build.
