The package remains the same. Ivy Bridge is supported in LGA1155. Bios update is necessary. Unfortunately Asrock didn't told anything regarding Bios updates for the Series 6 chipsets. This is sad.

As for problems I'm unaware of any but I don't own the board so I haven't looked. It would have to be the B3 revision though or it has the original SATA flaw. Search a few of the popular overclocking forums and you should be able to tell.

Also it won't support PCI Express 3.0 . You would need a z68 gen3 board for that.

original SATA flaw? what is it?
PCI Express 3.0- if don't make any mistake the slot isn't useful so much now because it's more relevant to ssd, which still not worthy like hdd.

B2 revision of series 6 Boards had a Sata 3G bug, a transistor was flawed which could break Sata 3G functionality.
