Hi,
Yep undo the oc'ing everywhere :)

If you want to check device manager and see what IDE ata .... is using ms standard or Intel ...
That I suppose you could switch to ms standard
I believe 10 will do that regardless though sensing the new chip.

Ok.

Hi,
Bingo :)
That is one I found when watchdog violations were going on a lot :)
Installed Intel 200 series for me your new one might be that or 300 series ?

My new one will be 300.

Hi,
Yep z370 I believe you said you got :)
Your system spec's are out of date

Nope they're exactly correct, I'm getting the CPU tomorrow, and then I can install the new mainboard.

Okay I've started pre-prepping(is that a word?):)

I have uninstalled the three MSI programs, set my power settings in Power Options to Balanced, and turned off Fast Startup, and went into UEFI and turned off all my overclocks, and basically set all things to out of box, even turned off XMP.
That way if I ever need the board again, or sell it, there will not be a problem, when first booted.

You gotta be kidding me!

Ok time for a give away.

   Information

With my ASUS mobo, I got a coupon code for 20% off at CableMod ASUS Exclusive Promotion Get 20% off CableMod cables for a limited time!
Would you anyone like it?

The first person to contact me in visitor messages(so all can see who was first), will get it.
I will PM you the code.

If and when I find and order a new case, I will order cables for it too and get them through Caseking, so I won't use this offer, and it would be a waste when someone here could use it.

But please be sure you will use the code, and not just get because you "might" use it.

It's on the way to me now:
God I hope I don't screw this up
The fan headers will be a pain.
