Hey, does any one know if this board supports ivy i3's?

It looks like an alright board for a little PC

i just bought the little blighter myselt its a 1155 socket so i dont see why not.
What are you looking to do with it?
ive got celeron G550 big cost saving compared to i3 and i didnt need the processing power

I'm building something just for some light 720p gaming on my TV round my girlfriends and what not.

Put it together with a 7790 or 7850, i'll be laughing!

The only reason I was asking is, because on Asus' site, it says it can use Ivy i5's and i7's but nothing about the i3 side of things D:

nice get a big graphics card in a small case. check out the 670gtx small form *google it* its amazing and tiny.

I'll risk it for a biscuit. See if it doesn't take it, i'm sure I can send it back.

Do you rate the board well? it's fairly cheap, but looking at it, I can't really fault it.

not used it yet, but ive looked about and for the cash its good. The ASRocks look good too but need flashing for Ivy and i didnt fancy going through the hassle. The gigabytes look good but only the wifi and then you start going up to the best part of £100 so i figured bang for buck this is a great value. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow and i can test it and let you know.
