GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 + i7 2700k build
« on: November 27, 2011, 02:45:49 am »
Hi, i am looking to purchase a GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 + i7 2700k combination to replace my GA-990FXA-UD3 + Phenom 1100T combination.
the operating system Win 7 64 pro is on a SSD drive. do i need to reformat the drive for the new combo or is just plug and play so to speak.
do i need to do any bios setup on the intel combo when installing?

other components are
OCZ Agility 3 120GB SSD 2.5"
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB WD5000AAKX
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64bit with SP1 OEM
Corsair CML8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB (2x4GB) Vengeance DDR3
Gigabyte Radeon HD6950 1GB Overclocked
CoolerMaster GX 750W PSU
CoolerMaster CM 690 II Advanced
Lite-On IHAS524 24x DVDRW Super AllWrite
CoolerMaster hyper 612 PWM

Thanks in advance

Hi Sol1960,  ;)

Because you change:
Plateform AMD to Intel
Motherbord for other
Cpu for other

it is necessary to reinstall Windows and all software.

If you have multiple partitions on the system disk and if you have sufficient space, you can install Windows on another partition than the one already used for the system based on AMD. But is not the best.

Like you have one SATA hard drives and one SSDs, you can use one or another for re-install Windows on a drive properly cleaned.

Hi

You should always do a fresh OS installation whenever you do any major sort of change to the hardware at all. Your rebuild would definitely fall into that category. Not only that it gets rid of any old rubbish that has built up over the time of use before and makes it leaner and meaner.  ;)


I would advise you to take this opportunity to update your BIOS with the latest version using QFlash making sure that you use the option to Disable Keep DMI Data on the home page when running it. Afterwards load Optimised BIOS defaults

No problem just finish your new build and then do the BIOS update and clear the CMOS before doing the fresh install of Windows.

The components should work fine together.  ;)
