    Thank you, Chris. THIS is the kind of 'meat & potatoes' how-to video that PC building scrubs like me need the most, and there are too few of them (of this caliber) on UA-cam. As always, I appreciate your detailed explanations, sharing you reasoning, *and* your fantastic editing. 👍🏼 Please keep 'em coming! (P/S: My son's name is Daniel also. 🙌🏼)

    18:02 a question if I may? What if you only wanted to do a fresh OS install and leave your game NVME ‘as is’ so you didn’t have to reinstall all the games? If you just format the windows OS 250GB drive and then do a fresh install, would you need to do anything else to use the game 1TB drive you left alone and didn’t format?

    • @ChristopherFlannigan
      @ChristopherFlannigan  5 місяців тому +2

      I've always done a clean install on all drives, but there maybe a way to do this, just never tried it. If you have a drive with just data you can put it in and it will work as before, but you would depend where you installed the games application and you would need to point it to the data and hope nothing had changed in the folder names.

    Would I have issues if I swapped my Intel Mobo and cpu to AMD mobo and CPU? Like can I just move the nvme and it will recognize everything? I've always wondered this.

    • @ChristopherFlannigan
      @ChristopherFlannigan  5 місяців тому +1

      It will work, but you may or may not have problems. Clean install would be my approach for this, but you could swap over and just do the clean install if you run into problems

    Question: That asrock board support gen 5 M.2 drives but if the it populates the socket coming from the cpu then the pcie socket for the gpu goes from pcie 4x16 to 4x8 speeds. However if you use a gen 4 instead of gen 5 M.2 drive then it works at pcie x16 speeds. Is this true?.

    • @ChristopherFlannigan
      @ChristopherFlannigan  5 місяців тому

      There are two drives behind top heatsink one gen 5 and one gen 4 but only one of these can be used at once. The PCIE lanes come from CPU. If you put any drive in the gen 5 slot the top pcie slot for GPU goes down to 8 lanes. Put any drive in gen 4 slot no effect on top PCIE slot

    i’ve been wanting a video like this for so long. I’ve been terrified to do a motherboard upgrade. Can you PLEASE do one with a AMD to Intel Swap? and Also do we have to wipe the SSDs? I have an OS/Software SSD and a pure Games and captures SSD. I’d like to not have to reinstall all that if possible. Or is the wipe necessary to avoid problems/corruptions?

    • @ChristopherFlannigan
      @ChristopherFlannigan  5 місяців тому +2

      You may or may not have problems. It will definitely work and you can just install the intel drivers, but to avoid any potential problems I prefer the clean install.

      I'd be interested in that as well. I think it's safe to assume most people updating their coolers will want to avoid the hassle of removing the whole board when modern cases usually have a cutout at the back to allow for it.
