I am switching CPUs on an EP45-UD3P motherboard. There was no overclock and I will be using same memory. Do I need to clear the CMOS? It's out of the case so it would be easy to do. I have never needed to do it before. Do I need to do it or will it pick up the new CPU and be fine? Thanks.

Re: Changing CPU on EP45-UD3P - Clear CMOS?
Clear CMOS only when things are really messed up. Loading Optimal Defaults should suffice.<<< LGA2011-v3 System Summary >>>

Re: Changing CPU on EP45-UD3P - Clear CMOS?
I thought it would be okay but it's not even in a case....it should pick up the new CPU fine. If I had my old one overclocked before stripping it down I might be worried.
