Is this a Sandy Bridge CPU? My mobo can only take Sandy Bridges out of box until flashing.

This is an Ivy Bridge processor. It fits in the same LGA 1155 socket as the Sandy Bridge CPUs. The Sandy Bridge CPUs are all the 2000-series.For the upper-end Sandy Bridge CPUs, look for a 2500, 2500K, or 2550K for i5 processors, and 2600, 2700, and 2700K for i7 processors. The "K" suffix means the CPU is unlocked and is suitable for overclocking.

Check PS. New does not mean good, Check memory chips by inserting only one at a time (I have had bad memory out of the box cause the same issue). Remove MOBO and fire it on table top with minimum items connected.I built two computers with these cases.. no issues.

No this is Z87 board, get the Maximus VII (Z97 chipset) one, that one has it.

No. This appears to be only a motherboard. Usually if there is a processor they will identify it by maker (Intel, AMD) and model number (I5, I7). You may want to google that board though to see if there are any issues with it. Some of the earlier Asus boards had some issues with certain CPUs. I think they have solved the problem but it never hurts to do a little homework when building a computer.

Sorry, I never tried booting from it. It may depend on whether or not your BIOS sees it when it boots. I highly doubt you can do anything with this card before the OS loads.

Board is a 1155 NOT 1150 socket, if you apply the latest firmware bios updates you can support some of the later CPU's but they have to be 1155 not 1150 sockets. The catch 22 is that you will need a pre bios flash socket to allow the board to post so that you can apply the bios update for the newer cpu.

This mobo -> 4ta generation socket 1150 (Haswell) i5-3570k -> 3ra generation socket 1155 (Ivy Bridge)NOT COMPATIBLE!!!

LGA 1155 only (Sandy & Ivy Bridge CPUs). I have 2 of these motherboards. One in a Hackintosh w/ an i7-3770 the other has an i3-3225 serving as a home theater PC. Both are working out very well.

The socket on this motherboard allows for LGA 1155 processors only. Do not attempt to use any processor that is not listed as LGA 1155. These Intel processors are also referred to as Socket H2... the so-called "Sandy Bridge" or "Ivy Bridge" line of microarchitecture. Huge lists of these processors are available at places like Wikipedia but suffice it to say that this motherboard requires the latest Core i3, i5, or i7 processor and is not compatible with older versions of Windows... nothing earlier than Windows 7 will work and I strongly suggest a new copy of Windows 8.1 with this motherboard.

Mine is in a headless server, Win 8.1 Pro. I can't get into the BIOS without hooking it up. If I knew what you were looking for I'd like to help.

You can either flash the latest version bios or buy a pre-flashed chip online, if you're comfortable with doing that. It will allow you to use the latest components.

Yes according to ASUS it is compatible with both Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge (2nd and 3rd Gen)http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_Z77/

I have the same motherboard that I got from Amazon. I accidentally poured water on the same board i had previously so I got this one because I did not want to change my settings or go thru the hassle of installing a different motherboard with new settings. It works perfectly but in this world nothing is 100% gaurenteed

Yes, I have this board, but with an AMD 8-core CPU. I had problems getting it to read due to the complex BIOS of the board. Make sure the last 4 digits of your motherboard serial number matches your BIOS version. The final fix for getting it to read was removing the CPU and CMOS battery for a minimum 5 minutes (as directed by ASUS) and then after the systems boots, adjust the BIOS clocking from 1600MHZ to 1866MHZ.

That processor is not officially supported by the board so I could not recommend mating them. Instead, go with http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-MAXIMUS-VII-HERO-Motherboards/dp/B00K2MASE4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1407530199&sr=1-1&keywords=ASUS+Maximus+VII

Unfortunately I don't know. This particular mobo came DOA and I ended up going with an ASUS.

Possibility, with bios update, however, this motherboard went dead on me after only two days
