Because Z97 came out BEFORE the i7 4790K do I need to do a BIOS update?ĮDIT: To make it easier you can just tell me what is the first thing I should do after reinstalling Windows 8 after I replaced my AMD CPU and motherboard. The CPU and Motherboard I will be getting is the i7 4790K with a Z97 motherboard (Haven't decide which brand/model to purchase yet). specs: Cpu- Amd fx-8350 Gpu- MSI radeon hd 7950 twin frost 3 GHz. But what if I boot up with an Intel computer for the first time, do I need to install Intel drivers or is it already handled by the motherboard? Do I install Intel or AMD drivers first? Or I don't need to do anything? The thing with AMD is that when you download their drivers it includes drivers for GPU, CPU and other things. Checked for any specific driver updates for CPU and GPU. Below the motherboard area, it also says CPU which reached a value of 59, Minimum of 59 and a Max of 73. Gigabyte Motherboard reached a value of 48, Minimum of 47, and a Max of 58. I do know that you should reinstall Windows when changing motherboards.

AMD FX-8350 - CPU (Tctl) reached a value of 36, Minimum of 36, and a Max of 54. I have read upgrade guides but many of them assumes that you are changing CPUs within the same platform or chipset - but I will be moving into an entirely different platform.

This holidays I might move from an AMD platform to Intel.
