Hey everyone! My 9800x3d recently died, and I've been using an ASRock B850 Steel Legend. There have been a lot of reports about problems when pairing the 9800x3d with ASRock motherboards, and now I want to be cautious. I've got a spare 9800x3d to use, but I also bought a new ASUS ROG Strix B850 and I'm unsure about how to transfer my storage drives to the new motherboard. Do I need to uninstall the ASRock drivers to avoid any future stability issues, or would it be better to go for a fresh OS install on a new NVMe drive? Any advice would really help, thanks!

If you're concerned about stability, doing a fresh OS install on a new NVMe could help you start clean. But honestly, a simple drive swap should be fine. Just make sure to back everything up before you proceed!
Just move your drives over to the new motherboard—it's pretty straightforward! You don’t need to worry about any ASRock-specific drivers, as there aren’t any that would cause issues after the swap.
