Uninstall CPU drivers when installing new CPU?

CDdude55 · Jan 19, 2008

Do i need to uninstall the CPUs ''drivers'' in the control panel? Or just switch it with out doing anything?. Switching to a Q6600 soon from my Intel C2D E4400 2.0ghz.

Honestly, I've never had to uninstall a CPU in device manager with this platform. I've switched in/out from a e6320 to e6420 to Q6600 to a Xeon 3070 w/o any problems, and each of these cpu's have been heavily overclocked.

I had to reinstall the driver when moving from a single core to a dual core, but that was for AMD on a older board.

Hope that doesn't happen to me.

It didn't give me any problems, it was just when I put the new CPU in only one core was recognized. After I installed the driver, all was well.

Are the drivers on the CPU? Or was it a disk?

So after i install the new CPU i need to reset the CMOS.

pbmaster · Jan 20, 2008

I downloaded the driver...and yes you must also reset the CMOS.

Morgoth · Jan 20, 2008

yes
like this
turn comp off
drain power
take heatsink off
clean heatsink and cpu
take cpu out
reset cmos
place new cpu
put tim on

Yeah, it usually help make the transition a lot easier, just be sure to write down any settings you may want. But most OC settings will change anyways, when changing CPU.

The CPU worked without the drivers? How were you able to get the drivers for it?

My CPU is not OCed. But do i reset the CMOS before or after the CPU is installed?

you dont need drivers mybe a bios update..
and read my post.. looks like you skipped me..

pbmaster · Jan 20, 2008

I was just about to say...Intel may be different than AMD for this kind of stuff. Do what this man says, he probably knows more about it than I do.

Morgoth · Jan 20, 2008

ok now i feel 1337..

DOM · Jan 20, 2008

just make sure the bios your on supports your cpu and just do what Morgoth said, and intel doesnt use drivers like amd

I read, it but the other guy said different. I don't think i need a BIOS update for a 680i SLI SE. Since it should supports the Quads. So it should automatically work in my system right. BTW Morgoth, have you ever upgraded an Intel CPU?

Thanks guys

After thinking about it, I remembered how Intel CPU's also don't need a dual core patch either. I then figured that they don't need a driver.

DOM · Jan 20, 2008

just find your mobo on Evga web site and look under : CPU Support and it should have the cpus and which bios is needed
