Those idle temps are pretty much standard these days. What do they look like under load?

I spent quite a bit of time this morning while the sun was shining bright(it's now pretty overcast again), doing a little prep work for when my order get's here, even though I may have to wait longer for the CPU itself.

I pulled out the static LED strips I was using, and one of the three fans I had connected directly to the PSU, and used a splitter and connected the remaining two to the motherboard.

That way when the PSU gets here, I can start running the cables, without extraneous, not absolutely needed wiring in the way, and just unplug my old motherboard, and plug the stuff into the new one.

As you found out the PC booted and ran with the stock BIOS without issue. That said, I would also update the BIOS anyway to quell any strange issues that could pop up later.

BTW nice temps at load if that's true. How long? I remember back in the days when we were overclocking we always showed the CPU running with a load under Prime 95 to show how well the heat was kept under control. Don't see those much anymore.

Hey Tommy, do you just move your old system disk to the new machine, and let Windows make adjustments for the drivers, or do you do a clean install?

---

I was thinking of running slmgr /upk before taking my current build apart, moving the system disk(M.2) to the new board and seeing of it boots,

OR...

The better choice, after running slmgr /upk, then run %windir%System32SysprepSysprep.exe

Choose ‘Enter System Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE)’ for ‘System Cleanup Action’, select the check box ‘Generalize’, select ‘Shutdown Options’ as ‘Shutdown’ and click ‘OK’.

Then let the ‘System Preparation’ tool generalize now the Windows system setup and shutdown.

Then disassemble this system, build the new one, move the system disk to the new one.

Boot into Windows and let it now install the default drivers and update the system registry.

At last it boots finally into Windows and then I need to enter all necessary information as needed at the time of a fresh installation.

Create a user for the PC, do not put the old user name as it already exists in the system.

The reason to create a temporary user, is for the purpose of completing the process.

Then I can log-on with the old user name choosing from the list at the log-on screen.

Windows now boots to default OOBE first boot desktop where all installed programs are there, also my old user profiles and folders as well.

Lastly, NOW I can delete the temporary user profile that I have created earlier.
