Hello, it is going to be my first time upgrading a processor so I want to be sure of all the steps to follow.
Currently this computer has an Intel Core2 Duo E7500 and I'm going to install an Intel Core2 Quad Q9500.
Motherboard: Pegatron Motherboard IPMEL-AE (Evans)
I am a bit unsure about what to take into account when doing it, if I just have to change the old with the new, put the thermal paste and turn on the PC.
For example, I am not sure if I should upgrade BIOS and how to do it and if the current fan will be enough or not.
All the help is welcomed!
Thank you.
