Hey all,
I recently upgraded on my older MIIIF from an i5 760 to an i7 870, when searching random forums I looked for what I should do to set it up properly. I should also add it was a bit of a system overhaul as I also upgraded to bigger power supply, higher speed RAM and different graphics cards. A general concensus is to clear the cmos, I know theres a button on the back but I'm not sure if the system should be powered down, psu switch in on or off position as well? Should I switch the jumper to clear? Sorry I've never done anything with cmos, if overclocks weren't working I simply loaded defaults in the bios setup. I will also be doing a fresh install of Win7 so theres no reason to have to try to save files, programs, etc. I looked around under search options but theres just a general clear cmos, not really a step by step for a dummy like me. Thanks for helping me out, it's greatly appreciated
