    Looking at OC bundle

    Hello there,

    Have been browsing the forums whilst considering purchasing an overclocked bundle. One common thread I have seen in some posts is that some folks have had difficulty in installing the system as the cooler is too big for their case.

    Looking at a bundle with the cooler master H80 cooler. Currently have a cooler master cosmos case. It's a bit of a behemoth anyway but would just like to make sure before I commit.

    For my other question, I feel I know what the answer will be, but is it possible to just swap out the old for new and let windows work out I've changed stuff and do the driver thing, or is a reinstall recommended? It's more not wanting to through the hassle of reinstall, but as I said earlier I suspect this is what I should do.

    Many thanks,

    jj

    It depends on the current system/platform your upgrading from... if its Intel based there's a good chance it will work.

    However.... new system new install is always best, doesn't take long
