I am about to send for my new fixed sandy bridge motherboard but had some questions. I got an OEM version of windows 7. I have heard that oem windows installs are tied to the motherboard. Am I going to need a new windows key?
Also i figured i should get i decent heat sink now that i have to take out the processor. Does anyone have any good recommendations? Not looking for anything crazy just enough i can get a little overclocking in. Also what is the processes of cleaning off the old paste(using stock intel heatsink now) What is the best paste to get now?
Thanks for any help was hoping i wouldn't have to get into this stuff so soon.
