Due to electric charge, my 8000 elite sff became HOSED. I replaced the PSU and replaced the Motherboard. Awaiting on a new CPU. I upgraded to a 8200 Elite SFF MB and am getting an Intel Core i5-3570 3.40GHz Quad-Core CPU Processor,
Is the system gonna go bonkers when I boot it up? Any hints.
Note the machine I bought used and it came with no disks. I am running it from an SSD and also have the OS & all other system files on another HDD,
From other posts I have read, it appears there is a chance the OS will choke. TIA
Advice appreciated,

Hi:
The system isn't going to work at all with an i5-3570 processor.
The best processor you can install in an 8200 Elite motherboard is the i7-2600.
See the Intel specs on the Q67 chipset...
