Taking apart a PC

[Ardy]

Hi there guys.

What would happen if I completely disassemble and reassemble my PC?

Would I loose any data, or reset any settings or parts?

After reassembling will windows run normally?

And will my CPU still stay Overclocked?

Thanks Ardy

No system settings will change as long as you don't remove the CMOS battery.

Once you re-assemble everything it will operate just as it does now.

ok thanks how long does the cmos battery last on an Z97A

Cmos batteries last years usually. All depends on the battery itself.

Thanks

What are you hoping to accomplish?

 

[Ardy]

Hi Beers. I'm just trying to learn how to do it. I had someone assemble my PC for me when I first bought the parts.

I'd make sure you backup your data beforehand. While you shouldn't lose any data, if you damage a component during the process you may lose your data.

Make sure you've read a tutorial or a guide explaining how to do it too so you have something to refer to! @Darren wrote a guide explaining how to build a PC which you can refer to: http://www.computerforum.com/threads/guide-how-to-build-a-computer.232629/

If you put it back together and it doesn't turn on again, never fear, read my guide: http://www.computerforum.com/threads/tech-guide-diagnosing-a-pc-which-will-not-post-or-start.209946/

Yup I've already created a windows Image.

Ok Thanks
