I’ve got a Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2H with an i5-4590 & I’m going to swap the i5 for an i7-4790K. I know the motherboard isn’t great for gaming & I certainly won’t be doing any overclocking. But these are the components I have in front of me. Can I just swap the cpu’s & away I go? Or are there daunting settings etc that will need to be changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I’m completely new here. Thanks.

Question Do I need to change any settings (in Bios etc)

Hey,
Always better to ask than to just do. But since the 4590 and 4790K are both 4th Gen, you shouldn't need to update any settings. Unless you've any CPU multiplier or Core voltage manually in the past, you won't need to change anything.
The only thing which you may need to change in the BIOS is the Hyperthreading setting. It's something the 4790K can use, but the 4590 can't. By default the setting is turned on though, so if you haven't changed the setting, you should be alright.
