Hey guys, I am going to upgrade, my Pentium G3258, to an i5, and I wanted to know, if I need to reset my OCed pentium to stock clocks, or do I just install the i5 normally, or if I need to do anything at all to install the i5, sorry for the noob question, Thanks in advance.

When you put a new CPU in, the preBIOS screen should say "new CPU detected, press _ to restore factory defaults). Do that, and you good to go. Just make sure if you where running your harddrives in AHCI mode you set that back to AHCI after it resets the BIOS, or if it was IDE, basically make sure whatever settings where changed before you replicate after.

ok, so I just install the cpu normally and when I boot, I press X key, and done?
