You're starting out with a gaming build and are curious about BIOS settings after installing a different CPU. Since the board was overclocked, you should check the BIOS options to ensure stability before turning it on for the first time. It's always wise to review those settings to avoid any issues. Good luck with your build!

Notice that processors outside the K series, such as an i7 2600, cannot be overclocked. To achieve higher speeds, ensure you purchase a 3770k model.

Yeah... I understand... It's not a K 3770. Thanks!

It should function properly. However, clearing the CMOS (whether via pins or battery) might resolve the issue. Make sure your BIOS is updated to a version that supports the 3770. You need at least BIOS version 2302 for compatibility. If your system lacks sufficient BIOS updates, switch to the 2600k to refresh it.
