Dang :( was hoping to avoid this but i will do it since my os is on a boot ssd and my games is on another so i wont have to download too much.

Going from an EATX z690 to a ATX z790 cause of fitment issues and i am not using the eatx features. I am on W10 do I need to fresh install a new os with new drivers for chipset? I dont know how to remove old motherboard drivers so I can install the new ones. Please help with any advice.

I see that now, i read the msg in my inbox, i was like wut 0_0 !

Ehh i think i will deal with that cause i cant get over how good it looks without rgb! Will do! also do u know if other ppl can edit ur post cause I think someone edited min lol. I am glad there are no mistaked cause i saw z790 was a tiny refresh of z690 with not that much gains that matter to...

Rn i have a working build with: Motherboard: Z790 Tomahawk CPU: 13700k GPU: 4080 Super RAM: 32GB DDR5 I saw the price of the MSI Z690 ACE come down to 210 and i love the look and size of this board compared to my Tomahawk. Its a jump down to Z690 from Z790 but afaik I'm not losing anything, It...

Been reading a lot about how mobo stock settings are bad for intel 13/14 gen. I picked up a 13700k and it being a beefy chip im wondering if I should set everything power related to intel’s stock settings on my z790 Tomahawk. I honestly don’t know how to do that since ive never dabbled in OC in...

As the title asks I am on windows 10 right now but I don’t mind upgrading or doing a fresh install of w11. I’ve always used w10 cause of how simple and straightforward it is but im seeing more and more people with 12th,13th, and 14th gen intel use w11. Should I make the switch? I game in 1440p...

Do you think I should take off the heatsink and check it? I can re apply thermal grizzly when im done. Or are the cracks very small and hard to see

Thank you for the info, i really hope the msi board is good because i realized i’m stuck to what best buy has due to budget and cc. So if it is wrong then the TUF is my next option. As for AC i never install that on my old asus boards, in fact, i disable that option in bios prior to windows install

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qVywvj I know it’s kinda op but at the price and value i figured lemme get one that won’t hold me back, even a few gpu generations from now

I have a 13600k and a I wanted to get a good mobo for the z790 chipset. I bought the MSI Z790 Tomahawk Wifi Ddr5. I know the max variant had an issue with the pcie lanes from cpu going to nothing but is that the same for this board? I was told if my board has the common ethernet/doa issue I...

I usually buy Corsair psus, and bequiet but the PX1000G being at 120 and atx 3.0, looked like a hard yes for me. I wanted a native 12vhpwr port so this was better than the Pure Power 12m 1000w since this is single rail and has a larger fan. How are deepcool psu's? Did i make the right choice?

Thank you very much, especially for the gpu advice, i didnt even see that, its so stupid how much they will charge of an oc model!!!!

Here is the updated list i made, please feel free to alter it, i came for help so I am all ears! https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wkxsQP

Please let me know what parts you which change and with which. I altered the build a bit so lmk your thoughts. Also i never thought it even possible to game on 2 monitors with 2 games at once, let alone have the thought/plan to do that so i realistically expecting those kinds ofs fps in esports...
