Should I do a fresh install?

I just did a mini-upgrade and swapped in a new motherboard/cpu (i7-920 -> IB 3770k). I was able to to boot back into Windows and working on installing any missing drivers. Everything seems fine, but something is telling me not to be lazy and start over. I'm running Windows 7 64bit if that makes any difference.
 
If it works it works, right? Generally I prefer a clean install, but that's mainly to get rid of the crap I've collected over time. It shouldn't be necessary.
 
Intel -> Intel upgrades usually work just fine (so much is abstracted by class drivers these days...). You can go reinstall, but it shouldn't be necessary.
 
I would leave it alone as long as everything is working properly.
