I'm about to upgrade my CPU, changing my Phenom II 955 Quad Core BE to an FX 8320 Six Core. I know how to install a CPU on the hardware side of things, but what do I do software wise once it's installed?
What motherboard do you have and do you have the latest version Bios for it? Most of the time you should update the bios on the motherboard prior to installing a new generation CPU.
