Hi again!
Well, I have the following brand new rig I just built:
Intel i5-2500k
EVGA Z68 FTW 160-SB-E689-KR
Corsair Vengeance 16 GB RAM
SeaSonic X Series X-850
XFX 6870 Double D
ZALMAN LQ-315 Water Cooler
Installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I allowed Windows to do all the critical updates. Everything appears to work perfect.
Now I am faced with the decision on whether or not to install all the EVGA recommended drivers from the EVGA website for this specific motherboard.
My million dollar question: Do I HAVE to install the drivers for my motherboard, or can I let Windows choose the drivers?
Second question: How do I know if my present drivers are good enough to get the job done?
Please help me if you can.
Thanks,
Soar
PS No RAID or fancy stuff that needs the drivers except for maybe the LAN [which works perfect now], USB 3.0 [which I will try tonight], and audio [which I will try tonight].
Does anyone else NOT install the motherboard drivers or am I the only one considering this route?
Thanks,
Soar
