Hi guys,
I have a P55 setup which is running with an i5 750 @ 3.8GHz.
I have recently obtained an i7 870 which i'm going to swap in. I'm also running the original v1.0 BIOS on my msi p55 gd65 and this might be a good time to update.
My question is what is the best order to do this in?
1. Retun to stock with a CMOS reset
2. Update BIOS
3. Replace chip
4. Overclock!
Will my current windows installation be fine after all of this or will I need to back everything up and start again?
Thanks!
Dave.
