I have just ordered a new mobo and was wondering what I need to do to get ready, like what to do with the hdd formatting wise should I just put the system together and use some type of software to clean the drivers up from my old mobo or just do some type of reonstall of windows. Also how would I go about doing this. Just wondering too what is a good overclock for this board.

I have that board and I got to 4.2ghz pretty easily. I think you should be able to just plug the HDD's in and it should boot...im not sure.  

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

 

----CPU: FX-6300 @ 4.2ghz----COOLER: Hyper 212 EVO----MOBO: MSI 970A-G46----PSU: OCZ 600watt----CASE: Black Corsair C70----GPU: Sapphire 7870 dual fan ghz edtion----2 random HDD'S----A couple fans here and there. Mouse: Gigabyte M6900-------Keyboard: Logitech G105-----Mousepad: Steel series something something.

yeah, you could maybe install the drivers on your current mobo and just take them over with the hdd.

Also you cant just say "how far can i oc" without mentioning the cpu, psu or other system specs! :D
