    Yes, but the warranty is voided, as well, ASUS has not released a BIOs yet, so, its impossible at the momment.

    eddie (from g2p/btotech) is testing a beta version of the new w3j bios right now so it is expected that ASUS will release the the official merom-supporting bios in the next few weeks.
