Well, find out. That's why it's useful to say what you did rather than just saying that you did everything correctly. Because if you didn't confirm the BIOS version or look up what BIOS version was needed on ASUS's site and install the up-to-date BIOS if an updated version was required for the specific CPU, then you skipped an important part of the installation process.

So long as you can get it working on the old CPU, you ought to be able to use ASUS's AI Suite 3.

If not, you'll need a flash drive. I don't remember off-hand if this motherboard has a Flashback feature.
