I didn't see a sticky on this topic, so I figured I'd ask. Are there any basic recommendations (things to do or not do) when installing Windows 7 on an EVGA 758-A1 motherboard (or any other EVGA motherboard)? Or maybe even just good common-sense items for a general installation?

So far, I've taken note of the "superfetch off for SSDs". There's obviously the whole forum full of threads here, but is there a list of suggested settings to look at or change during an installation? Or is it unique to each user? Just curious.

I'll be installing Windows 7 on a brand new rig in a week or two, and figured I'd look up as much as possible ahead of time.

It is good that you are doing some preliminary investigative work. Your install should be no trouble. After the install you will find your graphics drivers and EVGA X58 motherboard chipset drivers for Windows 7 right here on the EVGA website.
