i3-3225 Compatible W/ P8H61-I R2.0??

[Gamepsyched]

I just ordered parts for my new PC but someone brought to my attention that the ASUS P8H61-I R2.0 Board i ordered is a SANDY BRIDGE board and the i3-3225 is obviously ivy bridge.

I wasn't aware they weren't cross compatible? Or are they?

The board states 2nd and 3rd gen i7/i5/i3 and 32nm and 22nm CPU's

As far as my knowledge goes Ivy bridge is 22nm ... Do i need to order a different board??

It could work, but you will likely need a BIOS update to get it working.

Make it easier on yourself and get a 7 series chipset. H77 hould be about equal to H61.

The P8H61-I R2.0 board doesnt list the i3 3225 as being supported al all, even the latest bios.
