Question about hdwi ban

01/10/2026 13:07 MisoupPl#1
I知 HWID banned in Valorant. I知 planning to upgrade my PC by changing my motherboard, CPU, and RAM.

The SSD I知 currently using was not used before the ban, and my system is fully AMD.

My question is: would this be okay for Valorant / Vanguard?

Would it help to reinstall Windows before changing the parts, and then reinstall it again after the upgrade?

Those are the important parts to replace. I will always recommend reinstall windows to have a fresh PC. incase the game still has traces left inside PC. just do another reinstall windows after you have every PC parts :handsdown:

You'd have to install a new windows anyway since you're using another disk (assuming its empty/new)
since you're changing everything, you're most likely fine. When testing try playing on mobile data for a bit, in case your IP flagged in any way

I still recommend you use a VPN. because they do collect IP and stuff :handsdown:

that is correct indeed but its a flags game chief, lemme give u an example.

A PC with 2 flags = can play fine

A PC with 5 flags = perm ban


That is why my main function is to lower the flags are much as needed to get someone unbanned, so its better safe than sorry.


Best optimal idea is to use mobile data, usually the best imo
