July 7, 20196 yr Hey Guys. Bought a used digital storm computer. I find myself in a situation of having to reinstall windows and rebuild my sim. Just looking for everybody's opinion. Current system has a subpar MB. The Asus Z390-P Prime. Would it be worth it to upgrade to something like the maximus xi hero prior to reinstalling? Right now I don't overclock my 9700k, but I'm wondering if upgrading this now will save me problems later. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
July 7, 20196 yr If you replaced your MOBO, of course you would have to re-seat your CPU chip as well. Don't know if any of this would affect your new rig's warranty?
July 7, 20196 yr Author Warranty is not transferable. But a good point 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
