I see no reason why you would need to reinstall your OS.
A lot of people say a lot of things, but that doesn't mean they're right. We're talking about swapping the motherboard for an identical one and not changing any of the hardware. Windows doesn't have any problem with handling that.there is a lot of guys that will tell you otherwise
Did you try doing a startup repair?i had too on my WS revolution it would not boot when i swapped MB out.

I just did the swap today and noticed that some hardwares (motherboard components) had to be re-detected. Bunch had a (!).. but after few minutes it all got detected and drivers installed.
BUT! my Windows 7 did asked to "Activate my windows" again.
Ended up calling MS to reactive Win7 too.
Just installed my B3 board about 25 minutes ago. Same thing with me, in fact Windows even lost my audio driver.

I have an OEM version of Win 7. After replacing the board I had to activate again as I expected, but I was also thinking I would have to call Msft. I clicked the activate online and it was happy, no call needed. Wonder how it is determined? Luck of the draw?
