This weekend I will be upgrading my motherboard from M2N-E to Asus Crosshair IV Formula

As this motherboard has quite a few additional features, I shall be grateful if the members can advise me the do's & donts for the same.

Also 1 specific query :.

I have applied a thermal paste a year back & fixed the SCCF120 with the CPU. Should I remove the CPU along with the cooler from the old motherboard & reinstall the same together on the new motherboard so that I dont have clean & reapply the thermal paste ?

Is this feasible & advised for a newbie ?

I will be using :

Asus CH IVF

AthlonII X 4 620

SCCF120 cooler

DDR3 1600 2X4GB Corsair Vengeance RAM

250 GB Sata HDD Seagate

HX620 SMPS

MSI 5770 GPU

DVD Writer etc.

Please let me know if you need any further details.

Thanks for advising
