Well yeah, thats windows. FreeBSD doesn't seam to want to know

What were the components not recognised, can I help you in any way with
finding the correct drivers for these ?
Actually I meant the opposite. I had NO problems. What I meant
is in Windows, swapping a mobo is like a seven organ transplant.
Even moving a card from one slot to another causes Windows to
re-install any drivers for that device. Windows will choke and
sputter, but most times it can be made to run. Now, personally I
would never swap a motherboard w/o reinstalling in Windows.
FreeBSD (and I assume many other *nix variants) don't seam to
care about stuff that much. It see's a NIC, it uses it. Move it
to another slot, reboot, no big deal. I applied this train of
thought to everything though and just moved my system drive from
one box to another since I used the same RAID card, same NIC's
etc. Only the board, mem & CPU's were different. The system
just came up, no errors, no problems (except for the cpu%).
I rebuilt the kernel. That didn't seam to help to much. Maybe a
1/2% or so. So I am doing the buildworld/kernel and all that
since 4.8 just came out last night. I will let you know how it
goes. If it doesn't, I will re-install all together.
