I don't see why this would not be possible but I always get more information so here is the situation and what i want to do.
I had the computer I'm using built, Meaning I picked out the parts separately and had a local computer tech guy I knew put it together for me. There is no fancy anything it's just straight up all stock parts no Overclocked anything just straight out of the box installed. And all I really do is surf the net, watch videos/movies and play some new PC games here and there. I've had my comp now for over 5 years and I have never had a problem with it. I upgraded the GPU 4 times and the power supply once. I keep it clean and It doesn't overheat it doesn't make sounds in fact it still runs like new.
I want to upgrade my processor, and this is my plan
Here is the motherboard I am using:
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P7P55D_LE/
This is the processor I currently have on the board right now:
http://www.ncix.com/detail/intel-core-i7-860-quad-d5-42498.htm
Here is the processor I want use:
http://ark.intel.com/products/80807/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_40-GHz
Other Hardware in my comp are
12GB GGD3 RAM (Kingston)
750 Watt Power Supply
Nvidia GeForce GTX770
Now The removal of the other processor and then mounting the new processor on the board is easy (For me anyway) and since all processors have their own cooling fan, the stock fan should be just fine like my current one is.
But here is the question:
I want a simple remove the old processor and mount the new, plug everything in, close the case and go. It's one of those the whole process should take about 10-15 min if that type of situations..
So will the processor I want to use /fit/run/work/ and pretty much sustain itself on my motherboard the way my current processor does without needing to do any additional crap.
I'm assuming it will and should be a very simple swap, but I want to read other people's thoughts.
Thanks in advance
