Installing a new Processor

[nsxownzme]

Do you have to reformat when you install a new processor?

What HSF do you recommend for an Athlon 2800+?

 

[simmo]

[loque]

you do need to format if you get a new mobo

For athlon procs, I like the Vantec Aeroflow and the Coolermaster Aero 7. They're both purty and they've got "Aero" in them.

I heard the TMD in the aeroflow makes the case vibrate alot. the volcano 11+ is good too.

The nexus multi-function panel? Does it work ok? I was gonna get them for my new comps.

I'm getting a new mobo, but I only have 1 hdd. Do I have to reformat it? Or will I have to burn it onto 500 cds to back it up? (maybe its time for a tape drive?)
