Hey all.
I have my sights on a cheap ASUS P8H61-M B3 (it's a demo/refurbished board). Sooner or later I'll have to get a desktop again and well Intel is teh future etc. Anyway it does support Ivy Bridge but I'm not sure what BIOS version it ships with, and Ivy Bridge support came with with v3605.
So, the question is: Do I have to update the BIOS before I can use an Ivy Bridge CPU? Because that would be such a hassle. I don't know anyone with a 1155 system and I'd hate to have to buy 2 CPU's.
(for the record I'll probably get the i5 3450S)
Thanks for looking!
