Almost perfect compatibility between motherboard and Ivy Bridge P67/H67

Intel has been much criticized in recent years have brought to market a range of platforms that have had a very short life, despite the quality of the project. First and foremost that of previous generation Core processors with Socket LGA 1156. But there's good news about the baby LGA 1155 platform for Sandy Bridge for which there seems to be possible to update with future CPU Ivy Bridge.

Unfortunately, compatibility is not completely guaranteed: while there is no problem to install a CPU on a motherboard Sandy Bridge Chipset Panther Point, does not mean that we can do the opposite, Ivy Bridge install a CPU on a motherboard P67 or H67. Or at least one of the current implementations, possibly because of potential problems with the supply section.

This is because the chipmaker has not yet released the specific power of new platforms and therefore the producers have not been able to design their motherboards thinking Ivy Bridge.
