Posted July 13, 2019 As soon as I can grab myself the 3900x, I'm going to switch it out for my old i5-4690k, as well as my mobo and ram. What do I need to know/do before/during/after I install it? Sorry if I respond late and thank you in advance if I personally forget t do so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 13, 2019 You may need a bios update on the motherboard you buy You should reinstall windows after getting a new motherboard Turn on XMP or whatever its called on the motherboard you get so your ram runs at the marketed speeds Community Standards || Tech News Posting Guidelines ---======================================================================--- CPU: R5 3600 || GPU: RTX 3070|| Memory: 32GB @ 3200 || Cooler: Scythe Big Shuriken || PSU: 650W EVGA GM || Case: NR200P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 13, 2019 First you need is to link your account to Microsoft Account before you build new computer. Then you may boot your current system and it will activate (if not - use activation troubleshooter). No reinstall required unless you really want it.

Posted July 13, 2019 2 things to avoid last 2 days of troubleshooting so far: 1. make sure the ram is compatible with Ryzen / mobo (memory supported list is your friend, just not your wallet). 2. Make a fresh Windows 10 USB boot even if the version you get comes with a DVD or other media, you want the latest windows 10 drivers for initial install of a 3900x.

Is this RAM compatible with the new Mobo/Ryzen? 2. How big is Windows 10? How would I go about making a USB boot for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
