Hello all.
I built my system over 2years ago. System specs will be posted. I had a friend OC by Processor and install SSD drivers and what not. The machine runs great and i've had no issues with the odd OC'ing failed messge when im booting up (once a few months).
He also included a image and a program to use. Basically I just click the program and I choose the image and it will roll back to what he had done when I 1st built/OC'd the computer.
The only thing I really do is perform windows updates and video card drivers and add a few extra programs after the image is "reapplied the the SSD"
I DO NOT UPDATE SSD drivers, HDD drives, or anything else.
My question: Does putting the image back on the SSD acutally make it better? make it worse? If i install a fresh copy of windows will I lose my OC settings? or Should I just keep on "re-applying" the image on the SSD (kinda of like a rollback i guess).
I used to always just reformat my previous PC's every few months. because I feel it runs better when its a fresh install. but I never did OC-ing and never had a SSD before.
Note: All my other data files (music, pictures, etc are on a sepearte HDD)
Any help would be great!
Specs as follows;
Motherboard: Asus P6X58D-E
CPU: i7 930 LGA1366
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D14
SSD: Intel X25-M 80gig

GPU: EVGA GTX680
RAM: Corsair XMS3 Classic 6GB DDR3 1600 MHz
PSU: Corsair 750TXw
Case: Antec 1200
