Asus revision 3?

That motherboard is revision 3 if you look at the model number: MBASP8P67-MR3.
 
Yes it will work, but like Lounger said, make sure it's the "P67-B3" chipset. ... it should have been in there description.

Like this :
Asus P8P67-M LGA1155 mb with EFi mouse-controlled bios ; intel P67-B3 , 4x dual channel DDR3-2200(O.C)/1600 , 7x s-ata with raid 0/1//0+1/5/10 ( 2x SATA6G + 4x SATA3G + 1x eSATA ) , 1x parallel ATA133 , on-board ALC887 7.1 audio with optical S/Pdif out + gigabit lan + ieee1394a ; 1x pci , 1x pci-e(1x) , 2 x pci-e 2.0 (16x/16x+4x) for Quad-GPU CrossFireX ( no SLi ) , with 2x USB3.0 + 8x USB2.0 , with EPU + TPU + DiGi+ VRM , 2x PS2 , support optional serial + parallel port add-on cable , with EPU + TPU + DiGi+ VRM , 2x PS2 - m-atx

OMG, please stop confusing the OP
That motherboard is 100% fine for any LGA1155 CPU (like the i5 2500K)

I'm building a PC based around the Intel i5 2500k and I'd like to know if it would work with the following motherboard:

I'm concerned because the motherboards labelled revision 3 all explicitly state that they support second generation intel i processors and the above one doesn't. Is this a problem?

Yes, it will. It's a P67 chipset, Socket 1155. The B2 stepping of the chipset is susceptible to the SATA port bug which may cause performance to degrade over a few years, the B3 stepping is not.

It should have a "B3 Revision" label on it

If it doesn't, don't buy it.

****ty advice, you can exchange the older models for a B3 at no charge any time when the dealers get new stock, or from ASUS South Africa directly, like I did. The old B2 stepping boards have been recalled so they just swap it out. Just keep all the accessories, box etc.

Why go through that process? Just imagine having to ship it back re assemble your pc. That might not be a one day thing.
I made sure I bought the rev3 for my i7 2600. I don't have to worry about all those things.
 
The first post was a bit vague, which is probably why the answers to this thread differs so much, as well as a couple of people who posted crap.

Second generation Core i CPU's simply refer to the Socket 1155 (Sandy Bridge) CPU's, which is exactly what the i5 2500k is.

The motherboard is a B3 revision motherboard if you look at the product code, so you don't have to worry about the SATA II problem, or swapping the motherboard for a B3 revision one.

The motherboard is fully compatible with the i5 2500k CPU, so you can go ahead and purchase both that CPU & motherboard, and then a moderator can close the thread.
 
Thanks for clearing that up, much appreciated. Was just worried, because I've actually ordered it already and it's on its way :) Last minute jitters suck.
