It supports i7s as well, but yeah that sucks. Did you try it with the latest BIOS?

Eh. I figured the list of compatible processors on the Intel website was up to date. Besides, the board is very basic. A new one would be nice. I was considering this little guy, as it comes with 8GB of RAM:

The Extreme4 isn't bad. I remember Wolfeking had one and absolutely hated it, lol.
For the same sort of cost you can get this from Gigabyte http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128546&Tpk=z77x-d3h&IsVirtualParent=1 or for a little more you can get a UD3H http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128544
I'd probably choose either one of those over the ASRock.

ASRock got a bad rep from their 775 boards. Ever since socket 1156 P55 boards, they've had fantastic boards IMO. I've never had a problem with any, and I've owned and used atleast 6-7 asrock boards from various sockets.
ASRock and gigabyte are pretty much tied for me, and MSI next (only the mid to higher end MSI's though, their lower end ones are crap). Asus would probably be next for me, only because their quality is decent. I absolutely hate their bios layouts.
With all that said, I would probably go with the UD3H.
