Creaking noise doesn't mean a new cassette. More like an adjustment thing

If the cassette sprockets have been worn by an old, stretched chain, then the new chain will slip/jump when you put the power down, especially on the smaller sprockets.

No slip = no problem

change your chain early and you'll get 3 or 4 chains to a cassette - worth it if you have an XTR / Dura Ace expensive one
