Okay so I have started to get into video editing and am disappointed with the render speed as well as the 3.2 ghz on my current cpu. I am planning on upgrading from my current I5 3470 to a i7 3770k But I have two big issues stopping me, and those are knowing if my pc will be compatible with it.
Okay so I'm using a thermaltake nic c 5 cooler and obviously I want to transfer this from my old i5 to the new i7 however, will it be just use a q-tip damped in isopropal alcohol to get the thermal paste off and then put a pea on the i7 then rebolt the cooler, or is something more than that required?.
My second concern is my operating system, will it just boot normally and not require any special treatment or have to repair/reinstall windows 8 if I upgrade? or will it be completely normal.
Thanks for your time reading this
