Hey there guys, just got a new FX-8350 to install on my rig after around a year running a 965BE. The reason I chose to upgrade is I do a lot of video rendering and streaming on Twitch and because I love working on Computers.
However I do have a Few questions.
1. Do I need to do anything in terms of safety to make sure my motherboard is discharged so I don't get shocked other then remove the power?
2. got this MB: M5A99X EVO, and just flashed the bios to the newest version which does support the 8350, is there anything else I need to do software wise before I go ahead with the install?
3. Last go around was my first time building a pc and the part that scared me the most was installing the cpu cooler and how i had to firmly push down on it to get it secure. Is this normal??? Hope it'll go better this time with the 8350 as so many threads talk about how delicate the CPU is that putting a lot of pressure down on it via the CPU cooler install definitely scared me!
4. I am hoping I can do this install inside the case as removing the MB would be a nightmare, what do you guys think???
Here are my System specs to give you guys a clue to what I'm working with:
Seasonic 80Plus Power Supply M12II 620 BRONZE
MSI R7850 Twin Frozr OC AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
ASUS M5A99X Evo MB
Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid Tower ATX Case
Crucial 128 GB m4 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive SATA
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler
Plus a couple of case fans to keep things cool!
Thanks for the help anyone who can give some advice!
