    Smoothest upgrade ever in 40 years of bulding computers

    Smoothest upgrade ever in 40 years of bulding computers
    Upgraded from an early model Z370 series motherboard that didn't support series 9000 processors or ram faster than 2666 MHz. I was a little leery since I am running Windows 11 developer's preview version and didn't want to do a full clean install. But as it turned out, I had no reason to be concerned. The first boot into Windows went smooth as silk. My M.2 Intel SSD boot drive and the existing install were immediately recognized. Windows 11 found and installed all drivers without a hitch. I did have to update a couple of them but otherwise no issues.The next step was to see how easy it is to overclock. The documentation that comes in the box is limited to a graphic Quick Start sheet that is pretty much useless. But I located the manual on the website and gained enough info to get the job done. Novice builders beware. If you are new to building systems I would recommend a different board with better documentation. Also don't waste your time with Dragon Center, the manufacturer's Windows utility. That is about the most worthless piece of junk software I have ever seen. But I have turbo boost set to 4.8 GHz on my i5-8600K CPU. And I am only running 16 GB of 2666 MHz DDR4. But the benchmark scores are fantastic. And I haven't touched the CPU base clock yet.Price was great. Install smooth. Performance excellent. Next step, upgrade to 3200 MHz ram and eventually an i7-9700K.Update 3-7-2022 - Well, the prices on an i7-9700K are totally ridiculous but I found a sweet deal on a 9700KF so I grabbed it up. The only difference between the two CPUs is the KF doesn't have integrated graphics. I have a discrete card so that wasn't an issue. I am currently running OC'd at 5.0 GHz and my Passmark benchmarked over 35% higher than with the 8600K. Also have my memory running at 3060 Mhz instead of 2667. Temps don't exceed the mid 60s C running CPU-Z stress test. Not bad on an air cooler.Final note - I did switch back to Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. Still the way to go with Windows period.
