You will need to flash your motherboard to the 3 series BIOS for your CPU to work. Please follow the guide in my sig do not flash your motherboard BIOS in OS.

ive installed the new ivy bride 3770k cpu on my asus maximus iv extreme z.
there ist so far no problem with compatibility because my bios is up to date.

but everytime i start the computer, it gives one long and three short tones (post code).. i got my eyes on the led codes and everything seems to be ok. but why those tones ?!?!

What is the code that your system sticks at?

If it posts through to OS then no problem. 🙂
