i3 needs a third pwm block for the GMCH, the igp/imc chip that sits next to the cpu chip on the cpu package...
far from every 1156 board has this, plus you need bios support too, i3 has a diferent imc than i5 and i7 and needs more than a basic bios update to work properly...
i donīt understand, why is that a lie?

Clarkdale can run on every P55 Board. I tested it on 6 different Boards and had no Problems.
