So just to confirm, the ONLY way to get the Crosshair V (with an older BIOS) to recognize AM3+ chips is to boot with an AM3 chip and update the BIOS?
This would be really annoying because my current chip is an AM2+ and I don't know anyone that has an AM3 so i'd literally have to order yet another, older chip and waste a bunch of time and money..

However! I purchased a cheap desktop PC from Walmart that had an Athlon II in it, swapped the chip, updated the bios, swapped back and returned the PC to Walmart for a full refund.

It's unethical to send me a motherboard that isn't compatible with a processor it's suppose to be compatible with.
