Hi I'm new in here.
Need help with some questions about this motherboard.
Got this motherboard ASUS P5N72-T Premium of a friend, he got a new one back from support + the old one apparently working again.
Don't know much about computers, so please these are perhaps some stupid questions.
1). Can I just take the motherboard out and put the new in, just so?
2). Do i need to put bios to default settings before I do it (no OC)??
3). Am i going to format the HDD again, or can they run as nothing happen???
4). The reason for the new motherboard is because I have an extra XFX 8800 GT in my possession and was thinking about running sli.
5). The final question, will i fell that i got 2 gpu's and can my psu handle it? 38A overall +12V rails or do i need new psu?
Maybe this is an old computer, but got no money to spare right now.
