Correct. First, install the latest system bios. Make sure windows is operating correctly. Purchase some CPU thermal paste. I use Arctic Silver. Read through the Owner's Manual before starting.

Thank you very much Chris.
So, can I change to a CPU Ivybridge E i7-4960X Six Core in my Aurora R4 without any more adaptations?
