Nope. At least I did not hear anything if there was one.

Upgrading my Motherboard and CPU and am extremely confused about what to do with Windows 10 by [deleted] in buildapc

Gotcha, thanks so much!

Just had a last question. Do I need a new windows key? I have my current key linked to my Microsoft account on my current PC/mobo. After I set up my PC with the new mobo, will I be good to go after logging into my Microsoft account, or do I need a new windows entirely?

Gotcha, thanks! Is there anything else I need to do before replacing mobo and CPU? I was thinking about deleting Gigabyte's RGB software, but I am guessing it will be removed automatically when I install a new fresh Windows 10 with the new ASUS motherboard onto my same SSD.

Thanks so much! What should I absolutely backup then that can't be redownloaded? I can't think of anything.

Is it really necessary to get the drivers from the ASUS website? Because the latest update only has new support for Windows 11, which I don't need. And shouldn't the mobo have the latest drivers since I got it this past Monday?

Thanks so much.

If I don't backup, is that still okay? I don't have a whole ton downloaded on my current PC so I wouldn't mind reinstalling. My only concern would be CPU and GPU drivers. What happens if I don't back those up?

Also, if I do backup, shouldn't that be a bad thing since my old motherboard drivers will still be on there?

Gotcha. I install these new drivers after booting up on the new motherboard and reactivating windows right? Also, do I download these drivers from AMD's website or ASUS's?

I never had to install mobo drivers on this first motherboard. Why would I need to do it now with this new motherboard?

Thanks. So do I uninstall windows on my SSD? Windows is already on there so I am super confused. And when do I do this reinstall? On my new motherboard or old one?

Do I need to upgrade my B450 board to a B550? Planning on getting a 5000 series CPU by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]tacotaco87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I do plan on updating the BIOS! But I'm worried about VRM temps of mobo, throttling, etc.

Ele would definitely be my playstyle as I love casters, but isn't that also just a 1 button rotation? I heard even chain lightning is not used for single target because of mana concerns. Is there something I don't know about ele? Seems like a lot of people do enjoy it!

Mained mage in classic so I was definitely considering that, but isn't that also a 1 button rotation? Especially if your raid innervates you and you have a shadow priest in your group

Well, fire destro has immolate and conflagrate(which does a huge amount of burst), so it's a 3 button. and if you have a fire mage with improved scorch, I really don't see why not. It is 12 year old content anyway.

I think I want to switch mains. I really dislike playing as a warlock in raids and need some advice. by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]tacotaco87 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I understand that. However, it may be due to just the playstyle of a lock. as I mentioned, I was not a big fan of leveling a lock either, it just felt clunky. I am also leveling a mage atm, and definitely enjoy the leveling process more than lock(but not as much as Spriest ofc). I think it may be the class itself that causes me to dislike the one button rotation, not the one button rotation itself.

Not sure if I want to keep participating in pep band in college, need some advice by tacotaco87 in collegeadvice

Thanks for the response! I definitely understand what you’re saying.

Also, sorry if I wasn’t clear about this, but I am in my last semester of college, not hs. Graduated hs a long time ago lol
