This is rather a dumb question, but just like to be sure. If you switch all-in-one (AIO) CPU cooling to a different manufacturer's but you keep all other components the same, you DON'T have to reformat your computer or anything correct?
Something to point out. Likely a good idea (if you can) to boot into the computer just before you remove this cooler and uninstall all of it's software if any was installed. Would also consider booting to BIOS and defaulting the motherboard in relation to fan curves you may or may not have optimized for the (previous) cooler. You are going to want to boot back to BIOS on the reinstall anyway such that you can check for the pump and fans running, quick look at temps before loading OS....
