THe CPU ID is read by the Bios on the MOBO so if the BIOS is older than the CPU it is likely that you would need a BIOS update in order for it to recognize the CPU (doesn't mean it will not work properly but it will not show the name of the chip properly unless it is programmed into the BIOS info.

In looking at ASUS's website there have been 9 Bios revisions on that MOBO so chances are you are using one that predates the release of your CPU.
