How to replace your PC’s motherboard in 8 easy steps | Hardware

Upgrading your motherboard can be an intimidating upgrade for any PC gamer. It is the most invasive of any hardware change, and almost means rebuilding your rig from scratch. But don’t fear the motherboard, embrace it!

Are you planning on upgrading your motherboard? What are you going for?

[westbrooke]

This is terrifying. It's like defusing a bomb.

Yeah my PC is on fire right now, what should I do?

I know this is from 4 years ago, but this is exactly what I was looking for! So easy to follow along! Thank you.

The chances of dying from changing your motherboard is low, but not 0.

Thanks guys, I'm comfortable replacing everything in my PC but I've never replaced a motherboard before. Seems a lot more delicate than other components, getting a new cpu and motherboard on monday so a good choice to bookmark this vid. You earned a sub too!

Two years after video release, you guys made me conformatble with swapping my mobo. Thanks for the very clear video!

[IZualx]

This is the first video that doesn't give me a headache, was about to give up. It actually looks somewhat doable now, thank you!

The windows login tip is excellent.... something I would have missed in a hardware focused task. Thank you! :-)

Switching my motherboard is probably the scariest thing

I was gonna upgrade my pc but now I’m scared to even touch it

The most annoying part of replacing a motherboard is plugging the power buttons back in, those wires are generally not labeled or the labels aren’t descriptive so you end up plugging the power button into the wrong socket so it won’t turn on

What about uninstalling old drivers and such if you're switching from Intel to AMD or vice versa?

I think most of us are comfortable with the mechanical disassembly and assembly of the PC. the part I would like to get more info on is the software side of things. for example, I want to use my old ssd with windows 10 installed on a new board. i have my pc set to my web account and that seems easy enough but their is always something amiss when it comes to software syncing and stuff. can someone link me to a vid or forum post that is more focused on the software side of installing a new board?

Thank you for this video; I've upgraded mine to an ASUS ROG B450F, this video took away almost all of the worry for me. The tip about the Windows account was particularly helpful, as it's something I'd otherwise have missed
