I ordered my new Crosshair V Formula last night to replace my Asus M4A89TD PRO and someone was telling me recently that i'll need to uninstall Windows off my SSD before taking my rig apart and then reinstall it after the new board is in with just the SATA from the SSD connected.( i know about not connecting the HDD while installing Windows)
Someone else told me i did not have to uninstall Windows and to just make sure the SATA from the SSD is the only one connected when i boot the first time and yet a 3rd person told me to just swap out the boards, reconnect everything and run it and just make sure to download all the drivers again.
does anyone here know the right answer ?
Also, i have 4x4 Corsair Vengeance 1600 and i was reading in some of the customer reviews on Newegg that some were having problems with memory faster than 1333. I understand that most people who are happy don't post reviews and the people that are not will but has anyone heard anything about this or are these just isolated incidents with people who might have problems with something other than the board ?
Thank you,
