The title explains most of this.

I ordered a new work-horse, with the following mobo and CPU:

MSI 870A-G54
AMD PHENOM II X4 840

The mobo requires a BIOS update for the CPU. I have a 965 in my computer now, but I don't have any more thermal paste stuff.

Would I be able to boot into Windows with the 840, or am I going to have to tear out my 965?

Thanks in advance!
