well i finally got all my parts for my install,well im still waiting on my E8600 cpu but my 8500 will do for now,im hoping that i dont have to do a clean install,im just gonna change chipset drivers and then swap out motherboards.hopefully it should work just fine. i couldnt order my new case yet coolermaster haf 932. but i just cant wait to get this rampage running. well with any luck i,ll be rite back with new board and memory. JS1
 
I HIGHLY reccomend that you reinstall your OS if you're changing both your CPU and your motherboard. I can almost guarantee that you will run into some sort of problems if you choose not to reinstall the OS.

I tried to not reinstall with 775 once and it worked decently, but I quickly ran into problems like random BSODs and instability with little to no explination except that I hadn't reinstalled the OS (i.e. leftover driver bits, ect.)
 
it should work see what happens

IM BACK had to modify n/b cooling fan i got so it would bolt up,also had to turn my thermalright from front to rear to bottom to top with fan on top pulling .had no idea how to setup the bios load defaults would not work.there are so many settings in this bios that im not famillar with. but i got it .ram is only @ 1800 rite now and cpu @ 4.1. but ill get it rite soon. ill be back. JS1.
 
I guess i have some reading to do about what all these settings do, wow what a great board got the ram @ 2000 and cpu @ 4.1 so far 1.30volts on the cpu occt stable one hour run .temps are really good for a new install not to mention its 95 degrees in here. all in all i think im gonna love this board. JS1.
