Hi guys,

To be more specific. I bought one of the faulty chipset sandy bridge mobo's when they came out and since I can easily return them my question is this: Does anyone have any experience with returning their mobo's and then having to reinstall windows?
I'm asking this because I rather not, it's a hassle I would not like to have since everything is running fine and dandy, also I'm using the sata3 ports anyway so there isn't any problem. But since I'm changing cases I might as well change the faulty MB for the non faulty MB as long as I don't have to reinstall.
Anyone have any experience with this?

PS: my guess is that it's the same mobo thus there shouldn't be a problem, however one can never be too sure.

Thanks in advance
