Yah, I looked here and it seems i3/i5/i7 are supported:

I'm pretty
sure that's wrong. There are i3, i5 and i7 processors
available for the LGA1156 socket. Most i7 processors are made
for the LGA1366 socket though, but at least one is made for the
LGA1156 socket. I also think all i3 and i5 processors are made
for the LGA1156 socket.
Well, the devil is _always_ in the details and since the details come
from the MB manufacturer that's where folks have to look.
For my Rampage II Extreme it only lists the i7 as compatible. (Core i7
(LGA1366))
The DH55HC does list all three of the current Intel core designs as
compatible, but it's a different i7
(Core i7 / i5 / i3 / Pentium (LGA1156))
so I stand corrected on that.
