Okay so I'm planning on replacing my P67 mobo with a Z68 today. I've actually never swapped out a processor after its installed... So there are a few questions I've got to ensure it goes smoothly!
First: My CPU is OC'd. I have found the lowest stable vCore. I am pleased with my OC's on memory and the like... Can I carry these settings over and just plug them into the bios when I boot up? Or do I need to again go through the steps required to find optimal OC settings?
Second: What's the best way to store the old mobo? I'm planning on saving it for a later build, but I no longer have the bag it came in. Is it safe to store it in the bag/box the new one is coming in?
Third: Is there anything I'm not taking into consideration? Do I need to reinstall windows etc?
Thanks folks.
