Sounds good, just didn't want to put the cooler system to waste They installed the stock cooler that came with the CPU onto it

Was the guy at memoryexpress correct in that I shouldn't use my "Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H60 CPU Cooler System" and to use the cooler that came with the CPU? Which is better?

The fan + cooler it was attached to and the back of my case where the fan would have been I cannot just have the fan attached to the backside where it should be as the screws do not tighten when I put them through, only when the cooler is attached will it tighten

I literally just removed my old hardware and attached the new and turned on the computer and it was all like it was, nothing was done. The old cooler is the "Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H60 CPU Cooler System" yes, which seemed to have attached to the back fan of the case, which since I have...

Ok so I've purchased and installed the MSI MAG B660M, Intel Core i5-12400, and 16gb of DDR4 ram and wow does it run fast. My guy at memoryexpress told me that I could not use my previous cooler with the new CPU and instead suggested to use the cooler that came with the CPU, so that is what I am...

Is there anything that I need to do before I swap out the parts? After I swap the parts, how do I go about the windows installation (in my case, keeping all the files and not a clean install).

Ah, seems like a hassle. Might just go with the more wallet friendly 12400F as it should be an ample enough upgrade for me

How would I find out if it has an acceptable BIOS level to run the 13600K?

Now I am very tempted to do the 13600K boards, but would those B660 motherboards you suggested suffice for this CPU? and I would then upgrade the cooling to this then https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00120087

If I replace the motherboard and CPU, will I have to reinstall windows? I'm reading yes and no through google. I don't want to have to reinstall everything

You also linked me to another CPU cooler, should I upgrade my current Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H60 CPU Cooler System? Or can I just re-use it

Can you link me to an upper level B660 board? Using Canadacomputers.com, memoryexpress.com, or bestbuy.ca Thanks!

I am not quite familiar with what a multithread or singlethread benchmark is, but looking at that multithread benchmark increase of 96% above 12400 is quite drastic?

I am in the market for hardware upgrades now since everywhere is running a black friday sale. I believe the 12400F that you recommended to me would be a massive upgrade to my i5-4690K, but as Lafong mentioned earlier: "On a standard benchmark: Single thread score: 12400 is 61% faster than...

My other question is then, would the b660 motherboard be able to handle a 13600K CPU? How much better is the 13 generation CPU vs the 12400?
