Hello,
As the title states, I have spoken with ASUS tech support and they are probably going to setup an advanced RMA with my board. Now my concern/question is:
Once I get my new board, is it necessary to format my system and install everything from scratch?
Or
Can I just “pop” in the new motherboard without needing to install the OS and the drivers since it’s the same exact board?
Thanks guys!
