I just purchased a new PC using some components from my old one. I saw a video suggesting switching from Intel to AMD while keeping the same operating system and everything intact. Since I didn’t format any drives, I wondered if that might have an impact.

General advice suggests there should be no major problem. You might need to restart your windows using a Microsoft account. Software compatibility varies based on your tools. The word "affect" is correct.

You mentioned hearing something from a video but don’t understand what it says. Could you share more details or clarify what happened?

Always reinstall the operating system when switching platforms. It eliminates possible firmware complications. Transferring and installing an outdated OS can lead to minor or major problems, including a blue screen.

What operating system are you using? What applications do you run on your computer? How much RAM does it have? (For the quality version, this isn't critical most of the time, but when it matters you'll notice significant drops in performance or it might not function at all. No problem, I was just a bit confused by the wording.) I'm not trying to be strict. Windows 10 works fine without reinstalling. I compared a fresh installation with older versions and performance stayed mostly stable, though there was a slight difference. Stability is still good. I'm not saying you're incorrect. A fresh install is better. That's definitely valid. But you can manage without all the cleanup in Windows 10.

I'm on Windows 10, mainly playing games and streaming. I have 32GB RAM and a 3200MHz processor with OLOY. I don’t really understand QVL or anything like that.

And another point seems like you're dealing with a lot of components, and I'm struggling to find a solution. You mentioned a 750W +80 bronze setup with a Ryzen 7 3700X and a 2070 Super. When you launch a game, the PSU reaches maximum speed and the temperature stays low, which suggests the power supply has ample capacity to handle it.

Motherboards provide a list of supported RAM options. I previously disregarded it, especially with Intel, but now with Ryzen I encounter problems using RAM not listed there. Always verify compatibility. Which PSU do you have? Power supply units don’t always increase fan speed at full load; some fans accelerate rapidly based on efficiency. I use an Asus Thor 850W and it stays quiet even at 400W. It really depends on your specific model. Consider using HWmonitor (free software) to monitor power consumption while gaming.
