Driver question

Hey forum so i'm switching mobos from an msi z77a-g45 to a maximus V gene and i was wondering if i would have to delete any drivers etc. from my current board before i plugged my drive into my new board. And also, both boards use the z77 chipset so would i even have to install drivers for things like the usb 3.0 etc since i would already have them from my previous board?

I'm not sure why you're switching mobos. The G45 is good.

It's probably best you reinstall your OS/drivers but it should just work with little tono problems.

I'm switching mobos because i'm doing a custom loop in my r4 and with the g-45 my extra thick rad won't fit in the top so i needed an m-atx board so that the MOSFET sinks wouldn't interfere with the top rad an my friend offered me his maximus V gene in exchange for my board and some old kingston hyper x blus i had laying around :P
