hi everyone!!

its me again... i'm gettin sick about all this..

last time i though a possible failure on the memory controller of my "new" core i5 3570 (nonk)

i'm actually running it with a GA-z77m D3H rev 1.0 motherboard, its not a k chip so OC is not really important (but i want to rease at 4.0GHz, and i think it can be possible, since the multiplier is open until 42)... i think the system works flawless with 4GB dual channel (upgrading soon) kington hyper X 1600 1.65 on XMP... the memory was detected since the beggining with this motherboard at 1333 with 1.5v

i dont know how but i boot windows fine (windows 7 ultimate 64bits) with one core 1600 MHz... im upgrading from a phenom II and a G880 motherboard
i have a R9 270x, and i realize that its possible that the old chipset drivers are not working never more since some CPU features in CCC had disappear, since the chipset and CPU drivers works with CCC i think they are automaticly disable.

so i had uninstall everything that has something to do with AMD chipset and CPU, and i install the intel and gigabyte drivers... the intel ME has fail in the beggining, but i just have dowload the last version and now it has been intalled fine... as long as i have a radeon card theres no need to instal the intel IGPU drivers, right??

so i have a good improovement in games, the system is stable, i can run prime95 and do a lot stuff with no a single issue. BUT i'm not seeng a good multitasking performance or well, just not much better than my phenom II did, theres no such a big system improovement after the upgrade... could it be, cose i need to reintall windows? or its just a myth?

i have some serious questions:

do the chipsets and all motherboard and CPU drivers are within the CCC?

is it posible to run the system flawlessly without the need of reinstall the OS? if its posible what else i must do?

thanks :)

yeah, me too, but since i want a SSD for christmas so i dont want to do it twice

i dont know if cleanning the registers uninstall and reinstall the AMD drivers (with special programs like UDD for a clean uninstall) would be anough...
