Drivers for Gigabyte Technology h61m s1

[synnchan]

I got my motherboard replaced. Can someone tell me where to get the drivers for Gigabyte Technology h61m s1? I've searched online but not sure what to grab exactly.

Go to the Gigabyte site: http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H61M-S1-rev-20#support-dl
This is for version 2.0 but you can choose which version you need at the top of the page.
I like to do the BIOS update first, then do the chipset, then LAN, then Audio.

What PCB revision? What windows version?

Get the audio, lan, chipset driver from gigabyte site. http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H61M-S1-rev-20#support-dl

Ok, thank you guys.

I'm wondering though... why do I need all of this? The technician said I should install all this stuff, but my computer is working fine without them.

What motherboard did you have previously? If it's the same motherboard, then the drivers are already installed. Otherwise, the drivers are close enough to the ones you need, but I'd still download and install the ones specific to your motherboard.

Motherboard revision is printed on the board itself, in the bottom left corner.

Nevermind, there's no need to grab stuff online anymore. I went back to the store and got a driver installation cd from the technician.

Here are all the drivers on it:

Google Drive
-I have it on my Windows 8.1 laptop and never use it, so this is useless.

Google Chrome
-I don't access the internet with that computer, it's only used for gaming. So, also useless.

Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer
-I don't think I need to comment on this.

Norton Internet Security
-Not necessary.

INF Update Utility
-Not sure what this does.

Real HD Audio Driver
-Already have it.

Realtek Lan Driver for Gigabit
-As I said before, I don't access the internet there, so LAN isn't needed.

Intel(R) Management Engine Software
-According to another thread, this is part of some sort of remote functionality that's only really useful for businesses. Since I'm a home user, this is useless.

Gigabyte ON/OFF Charge
-This supposedly speeds up the recharging process of devices such as iPhone/iPad/etc and apparently can be used even when the computer is turned off. I always use wall outlets to recharge my stuff though, so also unnecessary.

So... out of all those drivers, the INF Update Utility is the only one that could be potentially useful. What does it do exactly? I'd like an explanation and your opinions on whether it's a good idea to install it or not.
