UPDATE: I just checked the sticker on MOBO and it says P1.30-15B. I guess I will have to contact ASRock and have it replaced. This sucks.
Hello,
I recently bought these parts for a new build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda ES 750GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Hard Drive: Corsair Force Series GT 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card
Case: Cooler Master Storm Scout ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Antec 650W ATX12V Power Supply
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
I'm still waiting for the EVGA card and thermal paste to set everything up but I have heard that I may run into problems with the BIOS of the MOBO not recognizing the i5-3570K CPU.
I figure if the BIOS is updated, it will not be a problem.
However, if it's not, I don't have another CPU to start it up with.
Is there an alternative way to update BIOS in this case? I appreciate your help.
