    Going to swap mobo and cpu shortly


    Wish me luck.
    Should go smoothly like it did the last time.
    Win7 Ultimate 64bit
    Last swap was a Q6600 Asus board to an i7 870 and Asus board.
    Powered up, Win 7 saw the new hardware, installed drivers, rebooted and all was good.
    Now is the i7 870 Asus to an i7 2600K Asus board.
    I am still running my original Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit install from August 2009.

    Now if the UPS man would hurry up and drop off the parts.

    Goodluck:)


    I imagine everything will go fine, I have done similar many times and the only minor thing needed was phone activation of Windows each time.

    Have fun
