Hey,

I just changed the cooler on my CPU and to clean thermal paste off i took the CPU out, I put it back in installed the cooler etc and booted up

I got "New CPU installed, please enter setup yada yada"


I was just wondering, how does a motherboard know you've took your CPU out and put it back in, or did I get this message because the cooler changed?
